I hadn't been given that option from LI before. Interestingly they want to charge me a tad more than $5/mo...but then I'm not surprised they like you better. :) - WJR On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 08:38, Andrew S.

B - You can get a cheaper membership than the set they readily advertise: Personal Plus - http://www.linkedin.com/personalplus ---- This gets you access to OpenLink, plus a few other perks, for only $5/mo While LI doesn't allow you to just reach anyone directly, unlike FB, it does facilitate having people introduce you. This is another method that can get you to someone who is not a direct connection, and for whom you do not have an email address.

Yesterday I was looking for a past colleague, found him, but could not send him an invite as this person was "out of network". I was able to join another past colleague since we had someone in common as part of our network. I was able to send the past colleague a message, if I signed-up for at $24/month "upgrade". Since I don't use LinkedIn except for occasional professional contacts, it's hardly worth it. I thought when I first signed up with LinkedIn I could invite anyone to be part of my network. Maybe I'm wrong and missing something. But since I can't just invite anyone, anymore, like Face Book, why bother? Maybe $24 a year, but a month? If I'm mistaken please show me the light...
