What the hell is this service for?
I signed up. Instantly a few clients of mine want to 'connect' or something. So that's fine. Now all my competition in town want to also? What the hell? Now people I have no idea about but happen to work in the same town as me want to also?
Why?
Why.
Useful for looking for jobs (I've had 2 semi offers from contact's recommendations, a few interviews from jobs advertised there, and 2 or 3 semi offers from absolute blow-ins).
Annoying as hell the other 99% of the time.
Probably useless for people running a business with no intention of working for others.
It has made recruiting consultants very lazy.
There is nothing to explain. It's pointless.

See that's what I've thought for a long long time but it refuses to die so I figured it must have had some purpose?
I'm on the wagon of "will check in every now and then until I figure out an actual use for it"
I endorse Rolo for Blitz Posting.

It's pretty good for looking for jobs (at least in white collar work).
Less ■■■■ than seek etc anyway.

Yep. Can do their whole jobs basically from one site.
I've had a couple of people send me job offers. But that's over the course of like 3 years. And I only go on if someone wants to add me anyway. And sometimes for stalking girls that sound alright over the phone if I can't find them on Facebook.

Jobs, networking, some interesting info if you follow the right people, industry news and forums if you subscribe to them, and occasional events. I have a consulting business and get regular contacts because of that - once I weed out the dodgy Indian companies can be useful. I actually think it's really good if you have your own business because it gives you the chance to promote it. I attend events occasionally also - I'm off to one tomorrow night at Young & Jacksons.
The Facebook for businesses.
My uni made a big deal out of it being essential for graduates to have when applying for jobs etc. I check in about once a week.

Same. I just accept requests thinking it must mean something. By the way dd you get mine invite? I have no idea why I did it, I can just ring you anyway

Herein lies the problem, it recommends plenty of people I know but either don't want to contact or would rather contact in a more convenient way.
Its rubbish…and annoying.
It’s mainly for singles.
seems to be a status thing for how many contacts you have.
I’ get about one opportunity a month to go for an interview that is either sideways, below or not relevant to my current skill set.
Interestingly though the company I work for has now started working with what are effectively PIs to dig dirt in prospective candidates. Gotta be real careful what you make up on your resume these days.
