 It's also worth noting that LinkedIn can be a powerful tool even if you're not job hunting. On more than one occasion, I've had clients ask something to the effect of "We really like what company <X> is doing in this tech space, does your firm have any contacts there?" and I've been able to search my network to find out that a friend-of-a-friend is in the appropriate division of Company X, and from there arrange an introduction between the parties. It's also great for arranging introductions if you have a need to speak with someone in a particular field for background knowledge or for various other other non-job-hunt networking. Looking at the service as only Monster-meets-Facebook really undervalues a lot of its utility.
