I find LinkedIn very useful. I use it before every external meeting to get background on the others, and provide my profile to offer the same courtesy.
The frustration is that it could be so much more. They have the richest demographic of customers and the worlds best human capital map. They could be doing so much more than paid Lead Generation for salespeople and recruiters. (And this is coming from someone who has used it for both)
- mgkimsal 11y agoAgreed on all counts. I don't use it before every single meeting, but it's helpful to see who we have in common, etc. And yes, it could have been (or could be) so much more than just recruiter-oriented. Something as basic as letting me keep notes about my relationship with someone - where did we meet, who introduced us, etc - would have made them truly indispensable to an entire generation.

- mgkimsal 11y agoand... I went to the site and poked around before I posted that, just to make sure it wasn't already there. If it's there, it's super non-obvious, as in, I didn't see it, and I was looking for it.
