Fred’s post had me laughing. He asked the same question I had from this morning:

I was annoyed with this as well. Information that does not establish identity or serves some other necessary function should be voluntary. To force me as a user to supply more data than I want is an unexpected and concerning breech of an unspoken contract.
“… maybe LinkedIn is the adult Facebook after all.”
Bingo. The noise level on Facebook is now only going to be acceptable to pre-professionals.
