Apparently my picture was used to entice her to start using LinkedIn&amp;#8217;s mobile app &amp;#8211; unfortunately, I&amp;#8217;m not a user of mobile apps! A picture says it all&amp;#8230; So here&amp;#8217;s the message she forwarded: Notice &amp;#8211; LinkedIn is [...]&lt;h3&gt;Related Posts&lt;/h3&gt;
