How to Break LinkedIn Connections

It's a little known fact, but did you realize you can easily break LinkedIn connections? Boy I wish I knew that a long time ago. LinkedIn is a fabulous business social networking tool, especially for people in a line of work like mine who are interested in talking partnerships. However, if you add contacts just for the sake of doing so, its value diminishes.

I have been reading Jason Calacanis' and Guy Kawasaki's posts on how to use the service but haven't invested the time to use it since I had a lot of dead wood in there. (I made the mistake two years ago of letting lots of people into my network who I don't know.) Now that I can eliminate people I don't know well, I am looking forward to exploring.

Oh and if I know you (as in we've traded more than a few emails) and we're not connected, please go ahead and invite me to connect.
