I had a memo recently from someone I've not met (nor ever communicated with as far as I know) asking to add me to their 'real-life network'.
I'm sure different people operate different policies so for the record, here is mine.
Someone on my real-life network is a person I have met, in the flesh, for more than a fleeting moment and I consider to be 'nice people' (not everyone is perfect and I am making no guarantee about them).
Someone in my online network is a person I have communicated with 'online' on more than one occasion and had conversations with and also consider them to be 'nice people'.
The only exception is someone I know well online who I meet 'in the flesh', perhaps briefly, who is upgraded from 'online' to 'real-life' network.
There is no point asking to be added to either network if we've not managed to have a conversation or 'got the measure of' each other. No matter how well you think you know me through my websites or books or generally stalking me around the ether, I need to know you too (though if you are stalking me I probably don't want to know  ).
As for 'network comments', they don't mean much, may say something about the person, maybe a song title or lyric that I feel fits them, or may be utter gibberish scrawled at 3am after too much vin rouge.
Now get out there and do something before you find something worth staying in for.

Well said, what what!!
I sent a welcome hello to a person the other day and the next message was one requesting me to be on their online network... I mean why?
I tend not to do the online, unless have chatted for a very long time and know of them, they live far away etc....

Oh I get that too, and I often wonder why. "Do you know what nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by a horrible cunt... me."

People look more credible if they have alot of (especially well-known) people on their networks, credibility by association.
