What about LinkedIn?

I am - but i dont find it profitable - people just join me all the time and I have no idea who they are

I'm on it only because a friend invited me. I've never logged in or even browsed the site.

Though I spend very little time there, I did get a temporary job through Linked In. That's about it though.

I joined a while back. The way it happened is that I got an email telling me that I had an invite from my son to join, which I did, thinking that it was just another social site. I found that 'Linkedin' is more directed toward business opportunities, job searching and employee recruitment. Not much there especially since I'm retired. I very seldom visit.

i got roped into such some years back myself. such jest didn't do nothin' fer me, i aint a networkin' kinda gal. quit 'n e'en did my best to block't.

I've gotten e-mails that looked like spam from Linked In members. i wasn't sure what to do so i hit the delete button.

No, sorry I can't help you there.

I have not joined because it's not interesting to me. I know that there are privacy settings that people should take the time to check carefully, but I have never read all their policies.

I am a LinkedIn member, but don't use it as nearly as often as I should. I guess I'm not hip with the times, as I still network the old-fashioned way...by picking up the phone and calling people, or meeting them for lunch and talking to them in person. For my contacts that are spread out around the country, I keep in touch by email. I guess I could do a better job by spending more time on LinkedIn. Also, I have noticed too that lately I am getting requests from people from all over the place, and many of them are not even in my profession. I used to feel guilty about not accepting their connection request, but now I don't feel guilty about it at all.

From what I've heard from family they have left LinkedIn because they were being bombed by trash and spam. It seems the company was hacked in 2012 and never bothered to announce that, kept it quiet and now its just junk. I will check it out and remove myself too - I haven't been on that site in a few years.

I'm a LinkedIn member but dormant and inactive for few years now. It seems it's not worthy to be active in there.

I am a LinkedIn member although I don't really do much with it anymore. But friends of mine wanted to add me to theirs and they figured that since I work hard with my writing, I should be there. It would be nice if I could network with others who also write, just to share some ideas or such. But it hasn't happened yet.

I am on LinkedIn. My present employer recruited me through that site, so it's been very helpful for me. I'm on a few writing groups and proofreading groups on there as well.

I joined that too James, but, I do not understand it so do not go into it and it does not really interest me. Are you still on it?

you know, i joined linkedIn before i ever joined Facebook basically so i could continue to network.... at that particular point in time, i still thought i'd return to my career and would wish to remain connected for that. so yes, i still have the account. but i do not do anything with is.

I'm on LinkedIn and I use it to promote some of the news articles I write on The Daily Voice News. I do nothing else on the site. I do not belong to any groups. However, if it works for you, go with it. There are lots of ways to pursue our writing.

I have never joined Linkedin although I have had offers to.

I am sir...but not active. I just have to look for my niece's father before...she asked me too to check him..like confirm if he isnher father..something like that ;)
