I've long wondered the value anyone gets from Linkedin. But it seems as if it's "the least dirty shirt" in a hamper of crap. It would seem that its network effect makes building a better alternative difficult. I'm not someone who uses it all that frequently but it does seem to do a decent enough job at showing job postings in a single place. As for the self promotion and "though leadership" going on there - has anyone benefited from that garbage? Seems like a sad and desperate attempt to paper over a weak resume.
