Linking the SO account to career account sounds ridiculous. What if I'm not interested in SO and not a reputable person there?

  Then using SO careers isn't a good idea for you? The whole point is people who want to try and leverage what they do on SO towards easing/improving the job hunt. Which if you aren't reputable on the site would tend to imply that isn't a goal so why would you care?

    Lets assume if an recruiter looks up my name on Stack Overflow careers, and they won't find me there because I was busy I didn't have time for Stack Overflow. Does that mean I'm not a good programmer? does that mean I don't help my fellow programmers? How long until other sites come up with this point based resume linking? Sounds like another online game to me now. Except that you use your points in real life.

      No matter what you do if a recruiter has foolish assumptions that you don't happen to meet you are screwed. Just like how in many bigger companies you have to survive the buzzword mine field to be considered for a position. All part of dealing with people for the hiring process.
