There is really no alternative to Linked In - there is other software that does the same thing but since no one in my network uses it, that would be worthless to me.

Since I moved to Android and saw the permissions their app wants (access to my phone calls and calendar, among others), I've found a great alternative: they can wait until I get to my desktop, if I bother remembering.

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea; just uninistalled the app.

I just use it in the mobile Web browser; I wish I didn't have to say "no thanks" every time.

LinkedIn does this?! Yuck. I wonder if they A/B tested and found that this improves some sort of conversion ratio.

People use LinkedIn website?? LinkedIn is a recruiting database. No one with a network needs to use the website.
