If you connect with me on Linkedin what happens next? In my experience not that much unless you are a recruitment agent. So what if Linkedin is in danger of becoming a glorified recruitment website. There’s plenty of revenue to be had in direct recruitment. However, in my opinion the connections made on Linkedin are too shallow to keep me from seriously considering similar peer networks or other services. If I owned Linkedin I’d use the organization’s undoubted credibility to forge deeper connections between people and empower professionals both young and old. I would encourage mentoring, expertise exchange and self-publication. Imagine how useful it would be for a junior professional to ask a more senior mentor about their next career move. Imagine the breath of the audience available for someone’s research paper through Linkedin. Imagine if it offered approved training courses that were peer driven or commercially derived. The question remains, how long will that $100 share price last without imagination.

I got my last two jobs through Linkedin, I'm now beginning to forget about monster.com, jobsite and all the others. It's like what Google did to Alta Vista and Yahoo!

I'd be very interested in mentoring younger people coming through the ranks in Account Management. I'd have appreciated it ten years ago when I had several routes open to me and found it hard to decide.

Linked in doesn't really accommodate people who hold a few roles at the same time. It's too linear.

Saw this and thought of Linkedin "Resumes are great for demonstrating linear progress through career paths in professions like law or medicine, but not so good for Professional Spaghetti Throwers" by Rebecca Jackson in Forbes magazine http://tinyurl.com/cfbmlhc.
