Yes. Every day at the moment.

But not for seeking meets!

It's pretty much de rigueur in my line of work (IT Sales).

Not had many meets from it though...

It's a type of Business Facebook, in simple terms.

But you can keep in touch with business contacts, find jobs and a whole lot more.

Meets from LinkedIn?

I use it for work. I wouldn't imagine using it for anything else.

Pretty much this. A lot of genuine people but more self obsessed and put themselves on a pedestal. I have never seen so much BS on a profiles. Have had people claim they have worked fort company in the past. I didn't even know them. Nearly everyone self employed is a CEO or President.

It has its uses but wouldn't trust it as gospel.

It's a great tool for business and keeping in touch with colleagues, as well as discovering new topics of interest

But as with any social media, there's a firm divider between that and fabland

Um, that was a joke!

though I guess if you count job interviews, I have had a few meets through LinkedIn!

Very useful tool. I always use it to check out a customer/partner before a meeting. Great for finding things in common to talk about in the "coffee moments".

Now people will search your photos and know who you are. You might want to rethink that.

I use it to keep track of whats going on my wider professional field. It has its place but there is a lot of white noise hiding the useful signals.

Used for a while when looking for a job but after that inundated with people trying to sell me stuff or trying to use me as a way into the company so deleted my profile.
