What does the OT think of LinkedIn?

I much prefer lesbian

Have job.

Don't use it.

Don't see purpose.

have one that is very minimal.

i get occasional emails from people showing interest in what i have on there in addition to a lot of spam.

when i decide to relocate, i see it being a pretty useful and necessary tool.

Have a career, but I keep mine updated. Like using connections function for jobs out of state. I have two friends who played in the NFL on my account and their peers are powerful to have.

I use linkedin weekly, but having a connection with someone on linkedin gives you 0 real power.

I use it to meet contacts in the gas and oil industry. Works great for me.

I have an account, but am really not much of a social media-type person at all...basically, in my case, linkedln is just a spam generator...

Who wants to use something that lets people see when you view their profile?

Haven't figured it out. Constantly endorsed by people I don't know, for skills I don't have. I ignore it.

I've had a Facebook page and an account
with LinkedIn. Facebook served no purpose because I didn't give a frick about how anyone's kids were doing but there is a chick I currently want to bang the latter site. When that does not work out I will have neither. Both are fricking useless.

I try not to connect with friends on LinkedIn, unless they're also involved in a similar industry. I also don't endorse people unless there's a legitimate reason to do so, and I expect others to do likewise. It should be treated as a professional networking TOOL, and not social media as we think of it today.

I've gotten legitimate job offers and have also attended conferences that I've been invited to via LinkedIn that were beneficial to my career and led to networking opportunities that I have used in business since.
