  * get connection request
  * reset password
  * log in
  * accept connection
  * log out
  * do not think about linkedin again until the next connection request.

Wow, this is... yeah, this is pretty much how I use LinkedIn too.

I'm going to go see what's involved in deleting my LinkedIn profile, I think. Github should be my resume anyway.

I'm even more paranoid -

- Get connection request

- Open private tab in firefox

- Temporarily disable noscript blocks for linked-in domains

- Accept the connection

- Close tab, re-enable script blocks

They are way too creepy.

mine:

  * get connection request
  * open mobile browser
  * switch to "request desktop page" mode
  * log in
  * accept connection
  * log out
  * do not think about linkedin again until the next connection request.
can't understand why do they block the browser from using the remembered password on mobile!
