I saw this on a LinkedIn group I'm on: LinkedIn Removes Introduction Requests to 3rd Degree Connections

I continue to hear about LinkedIn recommendations, and various ideas about their value. Are they fake? Are they worthless?

Check this out:
This is what I see on a guy's profile this morning. I chuckle as I think about the hundreds of people who have heard me speak this year about the simple, low-hanging-fruit opportunities to make your profile look more "on purpose."
