You're ignoring the whole connections bit about LinkedIn. Keeping track of your professional connections through time has value to you as well as those you connect to. If you don't see it, that's fine.

And how long do you think LinkedIn will be the hub for this specific use? I'm not being facetious; these companies come and go. The fact that it makes no money and uses a few "dirty" tricks makes me skeptical of LinkedIn's persistence. As the OP said, it's nice to control your online persona.

- lotsofcows 12y agoI don't understand how that's relevant. Obviously, if a competitor appears, I'll have a profile on there too. The fact that it won't be there forever doesn't stop me using LinkedIn or Facebook or my mac or Tesco for that matter.
