An incorrect account was created, meaning I now have two linkedin profiles. They will not delete the bogus one. For that reason I quit linkedin years ago.
They should understand the little stuff DOES matter.

Good morning Jeff. I post to Linkedin everyday and in 2015 I did 16 mortgages as a result of being on there, so it has definitely been a benefit for me.

I wouldn't "miss" them.
Beyond linking AR posts there and receiving annoying updates, I don't use LinkedIn although I believe Joe Petrowsky and others have written many positive posts about LI.

I never use LinkedIn, but my understanding is that it's pretty important to the younger set. Our 23 year old daughter uses it to screen candidates for jobs and to network with others in her field.

Yes I would miss it.
They would be far better if they found a better way to monetize than trying to get a few zealots to overpay to compensate for the majority who learned long ago that effective social media must be free.

Jeff,
I saw that in the WSJ feed we get. We have benefited from a couple of clients by being there. What is weird about that is that they just bought Lynda.com for a billion dollars. This is an educational video subscription model, that was doing very well. A

LinkedIn is much more business like so to speak with more than just realtors so you can reach all types of people. In some of the groups, there are agents that just talk about the same stuff over & over. Makes you wonder if they're all over 90!
I don't think it's confusing at all. I will be posting their more regularly this year now that I'm using Hootsuite.
Now they let you set up a blog like Joe Petrowsky does so it could be more beneficial. He's used it very well over 2015. He's being modest below.

I have an account but go through spurts of activity on LinkedIn. I have not found it to be useful so far, but as I am connected to past clients, I hope it helps keeps me in their minds when I post. I have made many good networking connections through it.

LI is good for what it's good for. They really don't compete with 'social' SM sites. It's a good way to find people in business you want to find. In fact, FB, AR, Twitter, G+ etc all have separate pros and cons, and a place in social media and business if you use them for their strengths and don't try to reinvent them in an image they weren't designed for (or evolved into).

That was a reverse Monster.com for HR managers to look for resumes.
It is supposed to get rid of head hunter profession all together. Unfortunately, technology can not replace head hunter. We have an ex-Linkedin guy in RE. He teaches about social media for a fee. I found out his contacts is all from SOI coming from a huge family and personal friends. All his contacts are professionals looking for 1st time homes. The Linkedin is basically BS not what it meant to be.....
The employees in MV is next to Goog. 15,000 of them all overpaid in my opinion. It should be a company with <1,000 employees.

I don't see them changing and becoming more current. If they went bankrupt some other site would likely buy they up for a song and it would take on new meaning. Everyone seems to think of it as a way to put your resume out there for a job and if you aren't in the market it isn't as relevant.

I can't easily find my or my connection's recent updates. I would love to be able to easily see those and comment.
Overall, the site is less interactive.
I also wonder if it would help (or hurt them) if they displayed actual # of connections over 500+...or at least create 1000+, 2000+ etc.
