ive had a few people approach me on that, but i heard
from a freind that you can get people hounding you to help
them find a job or give them a reference. i guess thats the
point of the site, but it doesnt really interest me, since i can
usually manage to get a job myself and ive even helped a
couple buddies land some good jobs.

I blogged about it, and would like feedback from members of this lists, for various reasons I would hope would be obvious. PLEASE put responses in my blog, or your blog, or whatever, but not here, as I'm sure this thread could be quite annoying as it has minimal to zero concrete PHP content. http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/ I didn't feel like logging in so I'll post my comment here: The whole idea behind a social network is that you can socially network... as such inviting your friends is a great approach. I use facebook and from time to time I do indeed invite my friends. The problem you are experiencing is abuse of the feature. You have entities outside of what you would call friends that are hitting you up for a connection. The solution to this really should be the opportunity to register your address with the social network such that you will no longer receive requests.
