?
ive had a few people approach me on that, but i heard
from a freind that you can get people hounding you to help
them find a job or give them a reference.  i guess thats the
point of the site, but it doesnt really interest me, since i can
usually manage to get a job myself and ive even helped a
couple buddies land some good jobs.

I didn't feel like logging in so I'll post my comment here:

The whole idea behind a social network is that you can socially
network... as such inviting your friends is a great approach. I use
facebook and from time to time I do indeed invite my friends. The
problem you are experiencing is abuse of the feature. You have entities
outside of what you would call friends that are hitting you up for a
connection. The solution to this really should be the opportunity to
register your address with the social network such that you will no
longer receive requests.

Cheers,
Rob.
