I haven't done any real job searching or recruiting on there, but I've found it a great tool for finding past colleagues and as a journalist, finding sources for articles. It's also been a great way to increase the good info out there about me. I agree that there are definitely parts of the system that need redesigning, though. Aside from the things you discussed in your interview, LinkedIn tries to block things from you -- like people's names in a search -- if you don't have a paid subscription, but then if you go out to Google and search for the pages/people you're looking for, you can find links to their pages and full info on the site. I can't wait to hear more about how you've been using the site and if it has helped you get new projects. I’ve been on LinkedIn and only recently started to get more into it.
