> The one thing it's good for is as a replacement for a rolodex

That's the only thing I use it for. It was "ok" a couple of years ago, I even went premium for 2 months while looking for a new job (not worth it, at all!). Now it's just spam.

My last company just used it as a cheap ad platform. Staff where encouraged to "like" the weekly billboard.

A sleazy site abused by sleazy companies, including the owner.

edit: Oh, forgot to add.. I think people only give endorsements so you think twice about disconnecting them (you'll lose their endorsements).
