I keep an updated resume on LinkedIn and try to participate in a few groups. I've also published a grand total of one post on their blogging platform.
I think there's some value in the tool, especially if you have listed skills in a buzz-wordy section of the industry. The last time I did an in-person job interview, everybody had printed copies of my LinkedIn resume beforehand, which nicely sped things up. That said, as others have pointed out, there is a very high noise-to-signal ratio in the network. Scrolling through a LinkedIn feed is nobody's idea of a good time, unless you're a recruiter.
