Just today, I received yet another Plaxo invitation to exchange online business cards from someone I don’t know. I receive them all the time. Same thing with LinkedIn. I don’t get it — if someone has my email address, what else do they need? I’ve spent some time checking out Plaxo and LinkedIn but find both too … meaningless. I prefer Facebook.
As I observe, consult and write books and articles about reputation and brand leadership in today's highly competitive world, I will share thoughts and perspective on this blog.

With you on this one, David. I automatically turn down invitations to join Plaxo, LinkedIn, etc. I also turn down most of the invitations I get on Facebook to the ever-increasing add-ons that Facebook is sprouting.
