I managed adding 60 connections in 24 hours last week and noticed this, thanks partially to the wife's large and extended family:



and I'm thinking that's a good thing. I suppose the smart move now is participating in some of the groups I've joined, Stairmasters included, heh.

After doing this for a long time I think linkedin has become much less useful in the job search. Anyone else have the same sentiment?

Agreed. The site's helpful for checking people's general backgrounds (education, interests followed, etc.) but I've yet to experience anything remotely similar to what the site purports in terms of connecting professionals. I'm hardly the "professional" type, but I do interact with people in the business environments regularly and I'm always looking for a better paying gig. However, LinkedIn has done exactly jack poo poo for my "career."
