I've been a member for a few years now. I'm with BobJ on this one as I am not sure of it's usefulness. It's a handy reference for contacts who may have moved on but there is also the 'professional networker' who will invite you to 'connect' as they just want to break the 5000 contacts mark...

I'm registered on there, and have been for about 3 months, and to be honset until I read your post I haven't logged into it. I guess I'll go there and update my profile now

It can be useful. One of my contacts there , a guy in Denmark, told me he got 3 requests for interviews via linkedin. He is a firewall admin.

Does any one use this network www.linkedin.com ??? I've been there for years but haven't used it much as I've been a permie and didn't care much of networking.
