To date, I have found little benefit from being Linked-In.  Having said that I have been on the end of a couple of recruiting searches and business offers as the result of subscribing.  Just nothing suitable to date.  I would suggest that, how people find others is by the means of a truly remarkable path, and has little to do with formal means of introduction.

For example I was force fed Latin at School many years ago, and can only remember classic &quot;schoolboy Latin&quot;.  Those who have been there will understand :0)

I am also a believer in walking and using it to collect my thoughts; putting aside a little time each day to do so.  For some strange reason I found myself typing &quot;Solvitas perambulum&quot; into Google this morning.

Guess what I found?</description>

		<description>Bravo!   I have little use for LinkedIn either ... other than it let&#039;s me do exactly what you say.    Stay loosely connected to the people I sort-of know.    The people I really-know I don&#039;t need LinkedIn for.

Whether it will ever be of benefit to me seems debatable because I&#039;ve been on it for 4 years and have used it to look up an email address exactly once.   

Return on effort?  About zero.</description>
