I don't know what anybody else is seeing. For me, and for my situation, I find that building a web profile so that LinkedIn can use me as an advertising beacon is counter productive, so I'm getting out as soon as possible. I hope somebody creates a better solution, such as a web plugin that allows professional networks to be formed without control of LinkedIn, and without all the advertisements. I also worry about exposure of my personal data, that's why I never went too far to begin with.

I am trying to change industries. All recruiters I speak to have this same problem- they need more job orders. Companies do not want to pay fees. I email people in linked in they do not answer me. Emails are not answered that much either. Phone is still the best way. Bottom line-Linkedin has made it easier to find people’s names.

I find the true network sites like Facebook a bit cluttered, but I'm sure all these warnings apply there as well. These caveats are good for any use of social media.
