there was a blog post on a popular freelance blog a month ago asking people about linked in. A lot of people said that they have complete profiles, lots of connections, even beh4nce portfolio plugin and the majority have received absolutely nothing from it. Maybe a couple of full-time job offers but nothing as far as freelance work.
I finished mine a few months ago. It's funny how I signed up initially a year ago and have had a full profile for the past 5 months and have had a whopping 3 profile views.
not only that but anything I tried to do on linked in (very simple things like privacy settings) I had to spend a few minutes googling around and I wasn't the only one doing that.
the major deal breaker is I can't be invisible to certain people (like my current boss). I can change a privacy setting to be hide my profile for everyone and that is it.
I'm going to delete the whole thing soon...
