An individual's social network (online or offline) is divided into three groups: PANs = Potentially Active Network CANs = Currently Active Network FANs = Formerly Active Network I used to think of LinkedIn as containing exactly my CAN and FAN. People I currently know well or have in the past. That's what LinkedIn tells you.

I personally think that the LMS is quickly being relegated to longer, developmental activities and compliance activities. It's going to be on-the-side and below your activities, not on-top.
