I like LinkedIn, it helps me get in contact with hiring managers and gives me a platform to say nice things about my colleagues. I also prefer it to résumés for getting an idea of who I'm working with. I don't like that it tries to trick me into doing things I don't want to do. I hate to think that people might be sent unsolicited email just because I decided to interact with it. I honestly think that they should stop trying to be a social network, and instead: perfect the résumé; help people find talent without having to resort to shotgun InMails; discourage boasting in the unstructured parts of the profiles (Summary specifically). I think that if they fire some people and chop off a few limbs, they could emerge a company that people actually respect.
