Can anybody explain to me the point of the Branching Out a on Facebook? Does it serve any purpose that is not currently served by entities such as LinkedIn or the good ole VO-BB? Does it serve any purpose at all?
If all I'd get out of it is the ability to decorate my Facebook page with swell gold and silver coins, I might as well just shop at the Big Y (a little western New England joke there).

I joined last week Lee, and I was also wondering about the virtues of Branched Out. I guess you could call it a "LinkedIn Lite" that you can import your LinkedIn profile with and endorse/recommend others like you can on LinkedIn. I don't know if many folks use LinkedIn to find voice talent so I guess it's a pretty good gateway to that as well as a good way for people to get a snapshot of your credentials. I know it's like opening a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, but it can't hurt!
I'll tell you what though, I'll take Branched Out over the recent plague of 483,912 redundant voiceover-related Facebook groups that has caused nothing but discord over the past few months. Some of them are great but most are just white noise.

What bothers me is the endless requests for endorsements....from people I have never met or worked with. Endorse what exactly?

I blocked the a, and I'm happier for it.

Blocking is the source of serenity on FB.
I'm permanently "offline" as well.
