    I'm going to join mugwart in the 'I hate LinkedIn' camp.

    Not only is it invasive, but it's saturated with 'solve if ur a genius lolz' posts, and other assorted rubbish that belongs on Facebook. That, and all of those insufferable photos PPT slides projected on a wall at some conference most people have never heard of, and clichéd saccharine 'inspirational' quotes. Ugh.

    The long and the short of it: try as I might, I've never got work from it. It's by no means a networking magic bullet. Any leads or work I've ever got, I did the old-fashioned way: phone calls and email. LinkedIn has had absolutely no positive impact on my business life in the 10 years I've been on it, despite using it in the way 'LinkedIn experts' (har har, please) have been recommending people use it for networking.

    Does that answer your question, fredddddd?
