LinkedIn has become more of a big deal as it has gotten older.
It's important for networking, and as a psudeo online resume.
Anyone who works in a professional capacity should at least have a profile and keep it updated.
Folks who LI isn't important for: people who have long-term stable jobs that don't plan on finding something new (teachers, police officers, ect.), and those who don't work professional jobs (garbage man, McDonalds clerk, waitress). 6/3/2013 7:53:36 AM

There are some guys paying a lot of effort promoting linkedin to ppl. They teach 5 hrs' class at wake tech. Does it worth 5 hrs learning?
And how many connections does he have? http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=11932467&locale=en_US&trk=tyah2
^ Linkedin zealot!

linked in is a good tool for anyone in business or technical professions. it's a professional network that will be valuable when you're changing jobs, looking for clients or other leads where a network is important.
LI takes a long time to grow, so do it now if you haven't already. it'll pay off down the road. 6/5/2013 9:11:28 PM

I can't think of a period of time when network is not important.
