And many people don't like Git.

  But for those that do use git, and do use github, wouldn't github do the trick? Their interface is simple enough that you don't need to know git to browse around a potential candidate's code, evaluate their interests and abilities, etc.

    For vetting somebody, yeah, but that's not what LinkedIn is used for by a vast majority of people. It's used to get introductions into businesses as a lead-generation method for B2B firms, and finding people to recruit. You get them into the recruiting bucket, and then filter it out as you vet them. You're misunderstanding the purpose of LinkedIn: It's not there to be a resume, it's there to be a discoverable and up-to-date contact list.
