I have an (admittedly not very active) account on SO (1400 karma), but over the years I've only received one job offer via SO. LinkedIn on the other hand gets me maybe one offer per month on average. I also have a blog at http://henrikwarne.com/ http://henrikwarne.com/ but I have never received any job offers via it. I go to very few meet-ups, but the ones I've been to have never generated any offers. So in my experience, LinkedIn wins hands down in that respect (I'm in Stockholm, Sweden).

I don't think he's saying that the webpage attracts job offers, just that by having an easy to find presence online, people are able to find him.

  Exactly. I have had a few cold interview offers through StackOverflow, even fewer from my website. But after meeting people at events, they check my website, and in some cases this leads to further discussion. The 'spam-vs-interesting' ratio of those discussions is much better compared to what I used to get when I had a LinkedIn account.
