LinkedIn is my least favorite social network. Unless you're looking for a job or are recruiting it's pretty worthless. Their spam controls are terrible. Recruiter spam is rampant. Groups are full of spam and self promotors with no easy way for non-admin users to stop it.

It has its purpose - one it solves reasonably well. It answers questions like: "Do I know anyone who can make SuperWidgets using MagicTechnology?" "I'm interested in working at ABC Corp - did I used to work with someone who can get me a foot in the door?"
