No, negative value. LinkedIn is a huge privacy concern and I don't really understand why more people are not bothered by it. If I know your name I can find out where you live, your current employer and position, your job history and a bunch of your employees at a minimum. I don't use social media, but on FB this level of data was not often exposed publicly and could be limited to friends by updating your privacy settings. In an era where almost anything you say and do that someone doesn't like can be a fireable offence I have no idea why someone would publicly expose so much sensitive data about themselves to strangers online. I've had a couple of people cyber-stalk me through LinkedIn in the past. Nothing serious, but in both cases these were people I was not close with an did not want to expose much information to who revealed themselves to know far more about me than I was comfortable with. When I asked how they knew so much about me, both times they said they looked me up on LinkedIn. I'd be lying if I said I never did it myself, but it's kinda weird and I don't think it would be the norm.
