I have never found it to be of much use from an affiliate perspective. And quite honestly, I’m not sure of its true worth when it comes to job networking either. It has a nice hierarchical (or web-based) ability to link friends-of-friends, etc., but at the end of the day, I’m not entirely sure if the linking premise is helping anyone find employment. I may be wrong here, but I’ve never heard anyone tell me that the reason they secured employment was due to their LinkedIn contacts.
