Curious if anyone here uses LinkedIn.

Yep, pretty good blogs at times. Like it for catching up with ex-co-workers. Haven't used it for job finding (yet).

Good networking site for Job hunting. It allows you to see if someone in your network either knows someone at the company or they know someone else who knows someone at that company.

Yup, I use it for finding old co-workers and networking in case I need a job in the future.

I signed up and shortly after found my current job (actually they found me) so I never really got to look around much or see what it is all about. The little bit I did go through seemed much better than any other site I was looking at.

I am on it. Hope I don't ever need to use it. I only use it from time to time to keep up with old coworkers.

I'm on it.. It seems to be more of a "Who's Who" in the business world. I seem to find it useless.
