Yeah, don't get me wrong... LinkedIn has a place and I too have found some good connections through it, but what I am talking about is the actual 'groups' feature. It just doesn't seem very functional and the only value added is having direct contacts (which while nice, also causes me to get some spam via it). I have joined some of them before, but that is pretty much the last thing I do as I don't see any value in it afterwards.
