LinkedIn

I'm not a fan of LinkedIn so far. And I hadn't heard of it until today. To me this is just another social networking site for you to put your details into, and how many social networking accounts does one really need? It's certainly not as user friendly as Facebook (although my dislike for LinkedIn hasn't reached the same levels as Twitter) as it's very clunky. There aren't as many users on this site either, so I've struggled to find people I know. And it does seem to be mainly American.

I think the benefits for libraries are extremely limited at the moment. It will probably take a while for the site to become more widely used and therefore more useful to libraries. But I can't see it happening that soon.
