So I get an email by someone… before replying, I search for them and land on LinkedIn. Once there, I am told I might know some other people. I actually do know a bunch of them… but I am not sure that means I should add them as “friends” - or I guess, contacts. I […]

Judging from this, I guess PaidContent.org’s parent Content Next Media is planning and prepping for a roll-up.
