Would you guys mind if I added some of ya'll on Linkedin?

I've had an account since 2010 but never really filled out information or took advantage of it besides accepting the few friends who have requested me. Would really like to get connected to a bunch of professionals in the industry I want to succeed in

It's not much but I promise to start using it soon

I only add people I either worked with or trained with. I reject random strangers that try to link to me. I question the value of having 5000 contacts you don't know. The only person in my Linkedin connections I don't personally know / worked with is Stephen Northcutt, I figured when the director of SANS asked to connect to my linkedin account, would be a valuable contact. Not that I know what value I would be to him.

One of my childhood friends is a recruiter in San Jose. Thanks to him, I'm a third degree connection to everyone and their mother. I even discovered a few exes that I'm connected to through him.

Surprisingly your a 3rd degree connection to me, but would you really recommend me for a position? Somehow I doubt it, so what is the value here?

There has to be some incentive to be connected to people in the same field. Maybe I should only try to 'link' with people in HR.
