JOBSEARCH: What is LinkedIn’s value

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000703.html

Many people can’t find the value in LinkedIn.

I think it is:

(1) making yourself findable (i.e., to headhunters);

(2) finding others (i.e., to solve “problems” or exploit “opportunities”; and

(3) strengthening weak bonds.

There are 398 Yahoo Groups about LinkedIn. Here’s the list:

Here are the ones that I have found are useful.
