I've been closely monitoring my Linkedin account, trying to decide whether or not it is actually useful. I already have a Facebook so I don't need another website to socially navigate cyberspace - I want a good, professional networking website that actually works to my benefit.
So far, I have arranged my resume/portfolio into my profile uniformly enough. Also, I have made 56 connections, mostly people of all calibers from past jobs and classmates from school. The next step seems to be references/recommendations. I emailed out a few requests hoping to get lucky, we'll see what this profile section completion does for my experience. If all else fails, at least it will be nice to get a little third party, objective perspective on my work ethic, performance, general attitude, etc.
In summary, Linkedin is still up for debate in my opinion. I have yet to understand it's purpose for me.
