Virgil: I frequently go in and clean up my endorsements so they truly
reflect my talents and ambitions.

Glad to see somebody else noticed this.
I have been endorsed by people that I have never worked with, nor met.
With the exception of being rated for "Business Process" by Craig Askins,
who I did work with for four years, the majority of my endorsements are
worth about as much as a piece of used toilet paper.
Not that I don't need the work, mind you, but I'm not endorsing anybody
unless I have worked with them

Subject: Re: [NF] LinkedIn Endorsements rant
My favorite recently was when one associate endorsed another for "LinkedIn
Endorsements!"
Yeah, it's a racket; it's LinkedIn's equivalent of mindless "Likes"
I keep getting endorsements for SQL Server. I did a _great_ presentation, if
I say so myself, on the new features coming up in SQL Server 2000 at the
Miami FoxDevCon 2000, and I have worked with it a few times since,
reluctantly, even getting ODBC and the TDS driver working on a BSD box, but
I am not an expert and would prefer NOT to get endorsed for a technology I
don't recommend. What can you do?

Has it been discussed around here lately this thing with LinkedIn and
all these 'Endorsements' that keep being sent out?
It seems to me like it's just something LinkedIn is doing to drive
traffic to their site. I suspect that a lot of the 'endorsements' I
get are just some random crap that the site is generating....
Seems like I get two kinds of endorsements - an endorsement for
something that is OBVIOUSLY a skill I have (Matt knows Windows! Matt
knows Word! etc....) or endorsements coming from somebody who has no
bloody clue what my skills are so how the hell could they endorse me
for it?
Matt can type! Matt can turn on a computer! Matt can wipe his arse!
