Benefits of being someone's colleague on BP
I normally love getting a colleague request, with a message from the person who wants to add me as a colleague. I find it really fun and flattering and I enjoy the back and forth messaging.
But, occasionally I'll get a colleague request with no message at all. So, I'm wondering what the benefit to that person would be as my colleague? They don't want a discussion, so what do they want?
Does being a colleague allow someone to know something about me or follow my posts or something? I'm not a facebook person, so I'd guess it's similar, but I just don't understand why someone would ask to be a colleague, but not also touch base with a message.
Can anyone explain this to a non-facebook type person?
