Has anyone got anything of worth..ever...out of LinkedIn?

It's pretty pointless in my opintion. I prefer www.ntmy.org.

I used LinkedIn to keep in contact with old work friends... very useful. I've found people I used to work with 8 years ago. I've also been contacted a few times for really decent job enquiries. I guess it's worth it if you've worked in groups of large corporates.

So what's the general consensus on this site? I got an invite from a co-worker and started a profile. After looking around a bit, I noticed there are a bunch of people on here I've known and worked with in the past.
so which is it, ghey or rad?

The job postings are great. Went on a few interviews as a result including one at LinkedIn themselves. I know a bunch of people who use it as a networking tool.
So in my opinion its legit.

I use it to keep up with peoples positions/startups/etc
I also do background checking on potential employers... employees...contractors...and media folks....
its a public cv... about...without all the fluff of a portfolio or company site...
Plus I use it for matching people with potential freelance at my new job...
I just sent madirish one the other day lol...

yea thats cool you do that man, i kind of read up on people and other employers when i want to check on their background on this as well.
Plus its got me back into contact with some old co workers and they ended up sending me a ton of freelance shizzle.

I think it is fairly useful, I was contacted for a new position through someone that found me on it.
Very useful for freelancers who have corporate clients.

I like it ~ I use it for professional contacts only.
No titties on my profile.
