So OK, not going to do a survey or anything, but curious how people feel about this one…
Recently, I’ve started getting lots of connection requests from designers or people in similar roles. They come from all over the world, and 99% of them don’t include a message explaining why they want to connect.
On the one hand, I like to think I have an IRL relationship, or at least some sort of closeness, or professional engagement with my connections.
On the other hand, so what, and if it can help someone, why not?
What do you do?
