I have been very surprised at how good LinkedIn is as a news aggregator. I work in the energy industry and there are a lot of consultants who share genuinely quality articles or links to reports, sometimes with quite insightful analysis. However to achieve that, it takes effort to block people very liberally (I block people who have no interesting technical insight, even if they are perfectly pleasant) and I follow anyone who links a good article. The benefit of LinkedIn (for now) is that it actually respects the user's choices and curates the feed rather than filling it with whatever junk it wants (like Facebook)
