I love LinkedIn because it helps me stay in touch with people who I went to school with and old co-workers as I deleted my Facebook account years ago. If I didn't have LinkedIn, it would have been much harder to stay in touch with those people.
I do think that LinkedIn has a lot of low quality content so I entirely avoid the feed and use it more so as a rolodex and that alone makes it worth it for me.
- xydinesh 5y agoI also deleted FB about a year ago. However I don't use LinkedIn to keep in touch with friends. I text them and call them. I feel like relationship with my friends improved after deleting FB. Also, number of friends reduced too. YMMV
- galoisscobi 5y agoFor close friends I also stick to calling and texting them but fall back on LinkedIn for tertiary connections I had at various orgs before that I didn’t have numbers for or to seek out alma mater working in specific teams/companies.
- kjeetgill 5y agoExactly! Besides, the real feed is the recruiters we've met along the way.
