Linkedin is really terrible.<p>You are constantly spamed by career 'advices', recruiters, life coaches and people bragging about their work-related achievements... Its really difficult to find any interesting content there. I tend to spend no more than 10 seconds on it, unless I need to respond to a (recruiter) message.
Feels like the only people getting anything out of Linkedin are those who are new to their respective fields, and need to network a bit and maybe land a new job. Otherwise, it feels like waste of Internet bandwidth.<p>Frankly I have such a low opinion about Linkedin, that I'm amazed that nobody came up with an alternative yet. Maybe its the whole 'professional social network' concept that feels weird to me? While I socialize with my colleagues on regular basis, I dont want _work_ to be at the center of my socialization. I prefer to talk to people about other things in their lives.
