Linked In: Requests from recruiters

I am getting many requests these days from recruiters. I usually do not accept these requests.
Do you accept requests from recruiters?

what kind of requests you're getting since a person can contact you for various listed reasons in LinkedIn.

I do sometimes talk to recruiters if they have a definite opening with concise job description to discuss which I think fits my background.

Just requests to be linked in network.

Re: Linked In: Requests from recruiters

The only thing why I dont like LinkedIn is that once you accept someone, all of your contact and further activity becomes visible and then the other person go on making the contacts ... Mighty be Im wrong here, but your contacts are for your own and not for the whole network ...

^ well, that exactly is the reason for LinkedIn to be around. To give chance for professionals to link up :)

for random request to add, I flatly ignore them. One recruiter even went as far as asking me to write recommendation for him ... WTH !!
