When I still had a LinkedIn account, I noticed that being an attorney on LinkedIn made me a magnet for scammers -- mostly folks attempting to get me to deposit bad checks in my trust account.

Between that and the crappy articles that people would post in my stream, I eventually decided that I got less than zero value from LinkedIn membership.
