Would it be appropriate to add someone to your LinkedIn network that you don’t know well?

amb: Would it be appropriate to add someone to your LinkedIn network that you don’t know well?
I’ve found a few people on LinkedIn that I know from a place where I’ve just started volunteering. Would it be appropriate to add them to my network now, or wait a couple months?

Also, I need suggestions for other professional networking sites like LinkedIn. Thanks.

I think it would be fine to add them. People are on linkenIn to network and that is what you are doing. If they didn’t want to network they probably wouldn’t be on the site. As always be carefully on who you invite in because they have access to your contacts also.

www.Plaxo.com is an networking site. But I have like LinkedIn better.
