I think commenters here are missing out on one beneficial part of social media - Facebook groups and communities of interest especially private, moderated groups. Broadcast and discussions are a perfect use case for it.

And people talk about how bad Facebook is, LinkedIn is far worse. Everyone is trying to be a “thought leader” and no one is genuine on it.

I have a decent LinkedIn Profile with recommendations, up to date career information. But I never post to it.

I’m only really active when I’m looking for a job. I will respond to messages and try to keep my network somewhat warm.

To me, LinkedIn is nothing more than a Job advertisement board where you open yourself up to being spammed by the recruiter hoards.

The last LinkedIn recruiter saved me from very bad job. Now I have a reasonable boss, private office, no commute time and same salary. Of course, the 20 recruiters before were bad joke.
