I don’t know about other users, but I am finding diminishing returns
on LinkedIn.
I have used it for over a year for networking and business development
as a consultant and executive coach. But more and more I am getting
stuff from recruiters looking for me to do their job for them.
Whats the next big thing?
Has LinkedIn outlived its usefulness?
What other networking and business development tools are people using now?
There also seem to be more executives who – it appears – have someone
put their profile in LinkedIn – but never use the tool or respond to
invitations. Whats the point of that? Another sign of its diminishing
value.

This is an interesting observation.
For each person that I link to, after two weeks, I send them a chatty little email. So far I have ZERO responses.
So LinkedIn isn’t networking. And, it may be of ZERO use other than a glorified yellow pages of people.
Hmmm!?!
