The only thing I find linkedin useful for these days is to keep an eye on open positions related to my field. Besides, I dont know anyone that uses LinkedIn and actually likes it. Lets face it, its completely horrible for many reasons:
- Recruiters sending unsolicited connections requests and spam,
- Lame articles on productivity ( "5 reasons you should do X", or "5 things billionaires do when Y" bla bla.)
- Who viewed your profile feature - seriously, things like this make people not click on other people's profile.
- All kinds of statistics on profile views that don't really mean anything of value.
- Thousands of collaboration groups that are completely inactive, so basically no community whatsoever.
I honestly think that the only reason they are still in business is because nobody came up with a superior product yet, and that makes me sad.
