You've continued to build on your valuable advice which I appreciate very much. So, my question on this post is...What features could/should LinkedIn build to help sort out this asymmetry? Features like Facebook's Social Timeline, or being able to categorize your lists of connections after classifying them, perhaps having classifications automatically created for you based on activity levels, would provide ways better leveraging this asymmetry. I don't think it would turn everyone into open networkers, but it might encourage just a few more loose connections to be maintained. Hi Scott,

I am taking a good look at my LinkedIn connections and realize that I know some of these are connections in only a cursory way. I work at the same firm as a lot of my connections and may have seen the names on memos, email etc..but I do not personally know their work. Alsor, they do not personally know my work. So some of these connections are just, as you stated, "electronic" links. Timely post.
