Tech: CNN tries to pass off social networking defriending as news

  • She sent an e-mail saying, ‘I only connect with people I know, and hopefully our paths will cross one day,’ I read that, and I said, ‘Oh, my God, I’ve been rejected.’
  • LinkedIn user Elaine Fogel • Describing the emotional roller coaster she went through after a smart 40-something woman declined the chance to connect with THE STAR, THE LEGEND, ELAINE FOGEL!!!!!!!!! Fogel has 500 connections on LinkedIn, and to make up for that, we’re going to connect with her. It’s a bit of stunt-casting, we know, but we feel that we could easily be just as good of a business colleague to Ms. Fogel as that unnamed woman. And considering the emotional response defriending causes, it might make her feel better. I know it would make us feel better. • source
