I've found that the novelty of Linkedin can help drum up some business from people who might otherwise ignore you through the more conventional channels (phone, email, etc) but this novelty will undoubtedly wear off over time.

I'm a heavy linkedin user and almost took out a subscription for linkedin emails recently.
To date I've had 2 very nice direct contracts out of linkedin and a bit of consultancy work on the side too.
I'm currently working on another linkedin generate lead.

I posted this in another LI thread in General, but probably worth a re-link:

I've found it to be an effective tool when I'm on the bench if it's properly utilized.
I mainly use it to stay in contact with contractors from prior gigs that I enjoyed working with (you never know when you might need to bring someone on board or invoke that substitution clause). Recruiters, I have them locked down so they can't see my other connections.
I have gotten more use out of LI as an intel tool than a networking one though. It's always good to know your boss/team's background history when going into a new place. The edge is handy to have.

I'm currently benched and I've got the minimum "job seeker" (spit) membership. Not sure how useful it is but it's interesting to see the details of who's viewed my profile and what they searched on to find me.

Seeing a lot of false job ops from companies like WiPro who approach you and want you to go thru their 'process' to hire. Total cowboys and totally clueless on how to approach people and cultivate them. Avoid.

Anyone jacked off Linked In?
I just got a contact request from a very attractive looking girl from a field totally unrelated to mine (or IT).
Trying to work out the catch or whether I should take the biscuit and embark on a torrid affair, assuming its her in the pic...

Linkedin, for me, is like Facebook: I hate both and yet I feel that I can't afford to leave either one; lest I risk isolating myself from society at large. It's unfortunate that such sites can strip away everything that made them great in the first place and yet still be popular.
