But I have to respectively disagree that LinkedIn is irrelevant. When used to discover expertise or help in an area you could use that help I've found LinkedIn extremely valuable. Like all Social Media experiences, any user's particular experience of LinkedIn may be colored by how much they give of themselves and find value in being part of the community. I suspect your experiences have not be positive for whatever reason. For me, I've made business connections that I will keep for many many years. Connections that started casually as I answered someone's question or sought help and received it from others. I, for one, hope LinkedIn thrives.
