The Industry Standard: Guest Blog: Tom Hespos
"Snam" Becoming a Massive Chafe What do we do about all of these e-mails we get that ask us to join and participate in social networks on the web? Apparently, someone's coined a word for this unsolicited mail - "snam." Personally, I think that there are so many networking sites out there that people are likely to start blocking the rapidly-increasing number of "join my network" e-mails, if they haven't started doing so already. It only gets worse when you join. A few weeks back, a friend of mine who was directly linked to me in LinkedIn asked me to forward a meeting request from someone who was linked to him. The request's eventual destination? A person who wasn't even linked to me directly but was two degrees of separation from me. That's a tenuous connection at best, and I wonder how the guy reacted when he eventually received his meeting request. Betcha he turned it down because he had a lunch with Kevin Bacon that day. Forget the snam. Sometimes there's no substitute for a phone call. Posted by tomhespos, April 29, 2004 11:19 AM |
