I've never really understood LinkedIn. I keep a profile because I feel it's the right thing to do, just like I keep a profile on MySpace. I think it's because I'm a Facebook person and I think, why don't all these people just join Facebook? What's wrong with them? But this helps explain things a bit more, I suppose. Some of the top business professionals I know don't have profiles though. And some of the best networkers I know barely have an online presence. It takes time to learn these web tools and networks, and I wonder if it's actually the best use of my time or if I should cultivate relationships the old-fashioned way (gasp!). And this coming from a web-junkie! I'll be honest. I've never really understood LinkedIn. I keep a profile because I feel it's the right thing to do, just like I keep a profile on MySpace.

There are no more sending resumes out - the future will be online resumes with photos and recommendations from other professionals.

Moreover, they are in keeping with someone who has had an insider's circle of contacts and which has allowed her to avoid the dirty business of creating LinkedIn contacts from scratch. I respect your view of the world but it is not the real world. You - as do so many others who review the different aspects of LinkedIn - forget that the whole reason of LinkedIn is to CREATE RELATIONS !!! What the @*&#^$%@*&#^$ is the goal of offering people to invite and connect electronically on this web platform, if they are denied a response. Believe it or not, before Steve Jobs met Steve Wozniak they both were allowed to say <<I>> but that did not stop them from sharing their names, their love for technology, and their ideas. LinkedIn is a serious step back from business etiquette because it pretends to be something that it is not: namely a channel for open introductions to facilitate business relationships.

I agree with the comment that there are people out there that treat Linkedin like a game to see who can get the most friends. It becomes annoying and as the writer suggests a total waste of time.
