Fine Print

“I have arranged for you to get a priority account.”

That opening line always piques my interest. Like Mark Evans, I too got a SocialMinder invite from a trusted contact. But, the minute it asked me for my LinkedIn password … I clicked off and moved on. No way I’m plugging that into a third-party site.

Anyway, glad I didn’t. Evans wasn’t so lucky, as he explains here. B.L. Ochman is not a happy camper either.

For the record, one of my Twitter contacts posted this, so make up your own mind on whether to try it out or not: “The invite-a-friend page is VERY explicit that emails will be sent 2 the friends that U choose. U don’t have to send them.”
