LinkedIn is one of the few sites where I use my real name. It is for connecting with past and future coworkers, so they get my real identity.
Oh I have a real linkedin, but I have several fake ones for lurking as well.
Why not present ones? And how do you know who you'll work with in the future?
Right, I forgot that LinkedIn calls contacts "connection", doesn't it? I meant it in the sense of messaging them.
I have it for talking to past coworkers (in case I need a reference or want to discuss equity or something) and for talking to recruiters when I am looking for a job. My past two jobs I heard about via LinkedIn messages.
I was being dumbly pendantic. Thank you for indulging me though!
