I even opted out. I did sign up about 2 months ago and they must have no one of value because I searched for some well connected colleagues here in California and could find NO ONE through the search.

It was one of the unexpected consequences of accepting an invitation from someone, just to see what Konnects is all about. When I joined Konnects informed me that about 4,800 of my connections were waiting to connect with me on Konnects & asked if I wanted to connect with them. As this number was way smaller than my broader network, I was surprised to think that Konnects was more popular that I'd thought & so agreed. Little did I know that this was just an automated 'trick' to spam everyone. Somehow, they must've managed to scrape some e-mail addresses from my Gmail account. As far as I can see, Konnects adds no value at all - unless you count annoying people in your contact book! Regards Stan Relihan Actually, I didn’t send the e-mail (or at least intend to).
