As silly as linkedin can be, I've successfully had good lead generation from it. It has its appeal as a sales platform if only for the groups. The ROI might not be as good as twitter for pitching to people or what have you, but the platform is far from useless. Job recruiting wise...not sure, so I won't comment on that necessarily. I'm aware that's what the article mainly targets, but it's worthy to note possible different use cases regardless.
