Although I haven't pursued any offers i've gotten some nice leads for positions with saleforce, amazon kindle, amazon web services, disney interactive, blackberry, bigfish games, netflix and a couple of smaller names via linkedin. So i find it useful in that sense. The leads are often of a higher quality (actual hire managers, in-house hr) than what I get from email and head hunter voice messages. I was very close to nabbing a book deal with packt through the service as well.
