I get some traffic from having my blog as my home page on Linked-in. In theory it will also help keep track of people who change their email addresses.
When helping a friend conduct a Job Search recently it was helpful in figuring out who to introduce him to.
Finally its just plain fun to see who you’re friends are connected to. One of my friends has over 600 contacts - confirming what I’ve always known - he’s a great connector.
So I get some but not a ton of use from it.
