My BS detector is going off here! Solicitations from companies to use their products?
I've had some useful results from LinkedIn, as I posted earlier in this thread. I think you get out of it what you put in. And of course if you never bother to learn what it is really about and how to use it, and you don't ever join it, you'll get absolutely nothing out of it.
