Granted, it could just be my lack of LinkedIn savviness, but it's never been a source of actual business for me (I'm the author of this blog post). The only people who actually seem to use LinkedIn are recruiters who sloppily blast off emails on keyword matches.
But I continue to use it because it allows me to keep track of what my contacts are doing, which gives me an excuse to reconnect with them: "Hey Bob, how are you liking that new job?" It also is another source of credibility when people Google my name if they're contemplating hiring me.
