LINKEDIN: LinkedIn’s magic millions

FROM AN EXCHANGE ON CREATING LINKEDIN ACCOUNTS

Perhaps this is the answer to the “quantity” types. You too could have
a few thousand meaningless networking contacts. And, at the same time
help LinkedIn reach 100 million accounts.

Wicked :)

Glad you like that idea.

Can I interest you in the 10, 100, 1000, or our 10,000 contacts plan. I figure I can put up a script that will generate them as a service to our “quantity brethren”. What should I charge? $1/contact? 2?

Maybe I can have a pseudo identity with a pseudo army of contacts?

You really shouldn’t encourage me. Next I’ll have a deck and start looking for VC money.

:-)

Happy New Year,

I wonder what an army of ghouls is worth. Time to update the taxonomy. What do spies call their alternate identities?
