This was the first time anyone had declined her  invitation with the &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; response. And why all the drama? Don&#8217;t  social-networking sites like LinkedIn exist so professionals can connect with  each other?<\/p>\n<p>Her post generated a lively discussion in which she discovered just how  differently many people use social networks. In the case of LinkedIn, she  discovered, users are encouraged to make connections only with people they know  well. The user who rejected her was simply following an explicit guideline that  Fogel was unaware of.<\/p>\n<p>Now enlightened, she has reported on her findings in a new post, and even  gathered many of the responses\u00e2\u20ac\u201dalong with some of her conclusions\u00e2\u20ac\u201din a  downloadable whitepaper.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">The Po!nt:<\/span> Don&#8217;t  assume everyone will treat each social network in the same way\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat customer or  colleague who gladly interacts on Facebook or Twitter might be less obliging in  a less casual space like LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Source:<\/span> MarketingProfs Daily Fix  Blog. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Click <\/span><a style=\"font-style: italic;\" title=\"http:\/\/marketingprofs.chtah.com\/a\/hBK1IgAAJaJZfB7vKpZAN3CFESS\/news19\" href=\"http:\/\/marketingprofs.chtah.com\/a\/hBK1IgAAJaJZfB7vKpZAN3CFESS\/news19\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> for the full  post.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, Elaine Fogel used a post at the MarketingProfs Daily Fix Blog. blog to discuss her case of &#8220;Social Media Rejection Syndrome.&#8221; It all began when someone not only rejected her LinkedIn invitation but also sent a note explaining why: &#8220;I only make connections with people I&#8217;ve met personally or have worked with, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[32,61,107,117,164],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1012"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1047,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012\/revisions\/1047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tsirigosorbit.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
