LOL, you caught me, so cunning. Almost like I didn't say "before becoming an employee" right in my comment.

  Ah, I did not relate that use of the word employee to becoming an employee of linkedin. Fair enough. Still, unadulterated hype by employers of companies with questionable ethics doesn't hold a whole lot of weight in discussions like these.

    If that's the reality you like to live in more power to you, but mine is not hype, is my personal experience, stuff I lived through. Can't you accept that someone's experience might be different than yours?

      > That's, like, your opinion man. :) See, that cuts both ways. My experience with linkedin: Countless emails suggesting that someone has 'added me on linkedin' when I never made an account, they clearly bought a list and kept on spamming it over and over again. A website that leaks data like a sieve, one failed attempt after another to create a sense of community, utterly meaningless endorsements and competency system. On and on. I really wonder what the draw of linked in is, I would never use it as a decision in whether or not to hire someone and I think it is one of the worst possible experiences on the web. And that's before we get into it now being a Microsoft subsidiary, another major strike against it. The sooner linkedin goes away the better, it's been ripe for disruption for many years.
