I'm not using it wrong, but it seems that everyone else is, and LinkedIn's more than happy to encourage that usage in the interest of a larger, more interact-y userbase.
Are you telling me that you only get "meaningful" add requests? My friends don't often bother (the feeling is mutual), but the more desperate acquaintances seem to seek me out nonstop.
No, I don't only get meaningful requests. From a ratio perspective, I probably get 1 meaningful request for every 10 non-meaningful requests.
I'm probably in the minority when it comes to how I use the network, but I've also found that I get a lot less noise from it than most people. I can't say if these two factors are correlated at all, but it stands to reason that they would be.
