LinkedIn continued

Have uploaded my email addressbook to LinkedIn. It is quite eery to see how names of people I once knew suddenly "pop" up.
After reading a bit about how LinkedIn works, I understood that one has to be careful and selective about whom to invite to one's network of contacts.

I have now accepted the invitations that I was sent ages ago, in order to begin creating my own network.
I have also begun marking email addresses in order to send out invitations to join me on LinkedIn.
To some of my invitations, I have added a few personal notes.
So far, I have reached the letter C in the alphabet.

I have also begun to write my own profile.
The boxes that are offered by LinkedIn are tedious to fill in.
I will probably decide to upload a pdf of my (edited and abbreviated) CV, a recent photograph, and my list of publications - something I have meant to do for a long time.

Look forward to see who "accepts" my invitation.
