These reviews should never be consumed without validation or verification of some sort.<BR/><BR/>I guess I was trying to get to the risk here for those recommending. If you recommend someone who turns out to be less than you advertise, you've given yourself a blemish ... and you devalue the recommendations you've made for others (which may not be accurate for the others). I'd rather not be on the devalued end of that analysis.<BR/><BR/>Aside... the name: coding libertarian... nice.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244602226567642944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36411488.post-73846785974725482472008-09-05T15:30:00.000-07:002008-09-05T15:30:00.000-07:00Agreed, however I fail to see how linked in won't ...Agreed, however I fail to see how linked in won't degenerate into "myspace for work". It's pretty easy to not recommend someone you used to work with, it's much harder to not recommend someone you work next to every day. I wouldn't cave but I have seen many other people I have some level of respect for cave in. This makes linked in reviews only useful when they are written by people you respect <B>and</B> you have confirmed the review with them. At that point it's just as easy to ask someone directly what they think of the third party or if they know anyone well qualified for a task.Steve Moyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748480677185277347noreply@blogger.com
