LinkedIn: Who’s Viewed My Profile?

I also know a few people with this much connections, and I also don’t understand what good these people see in it. Personally I feel like someone having 500 connections is very similar to someone having no connection at all. I would rather be impressed with someone having 30 to 50 good connections.
But then this is just me. I also realize that people who have so many connections are not stupid, and they must have seen some good out of this practice.

Exactly.

I’m not buying the 500+ deal. There is no way you can maintain linkages with that many people. Even keeping a 30-50 person network is a lot of work but so much more beneficial.

I think professionally, you have to perform your job well and make the right connections concurrently.
