Seriously, is there any goodness in LinkedIn anymore or is it still a wretched hive of scum and villainy?
Dave Walk
It's useful for sales people, don't see many other uses. Although I know a guy that actually found his job through a Linkedin recruiter so it is possible!

Recruiters are kind of strange beasts, a very strange tension between trying to fill positions and match the correct people. I remember being head hunted during the run-up to Y2K by people hoping I had COBOL experience. Nope.

Less and less every day. And I just reported a bug to them where iPad app shows bogus new-connections activity. Apparently a known problem that they can't seem to fix... lame. Signal/noise ratio continuing to drop.
Jesper Bylund
Definitely a wretched hive of scum. But much like FB, you have to have a page there for HR people to find you.

I think more and more, you just need a github account to show what you can do and a sublevel account to show how you interact.

I deleted my account a couple of months the ago. Just couldn't take it any more: dougbelshaw.com/bl...

Oh yes, I blocked the whole endorsements idiocy out of my mind. Shudder. Can't go back.

It might be the other way around. I just read about office romance on LinkedIn.
