Here's a quick update on my fake LinkedIn network experiment. I'm up to the following stats:
- 0 declines
- 2 new connections, I'm up to 18 connections
- 600+ connections 2 degrees away
- 17,000+ connections 3 degrees away
- 1,181 outstanding invitations
I also forwarded the request to connect someone with my network... at first I thought I'd just ignore it, but then I thought why not? Seemed pretty harmless, after all it's just a request to forward something.
I don't know if I've been "outed" by my posting on this, but I suppose some people know the request is a fake so they are not bothering to respond. I think the bulk of my invitations will just expire because people do what I do all the time, just ignore them. I'd almost be surprised to get many additional accepts/declines after a couple more days. We'll see what happens.
