Name Dropping on LinkedIn

Are you a name dropper?  Remember when people used to do that in person?  I ran into this person, I had coffee with that person.  It showed they were in the "in crowd".  Well, we have moved this concept to social media, especially LinkedIn.  Tagging influencers for the sake of tagging them to showcase they are connected to them.  Have you seen this happen?  Well, there is a right way and wrong way of going about this.  Here's my take.
