LinkedIn = Monster.com + Facebook?

by JustinLL on 30 November 2009

That pretty much explains it all, right?  I mean, what else is there to say?  It’s not exactly breaking news, and if you did a Bing search, we’d probably find that someone has made a similar claim.   Who can say for sure?

All of that aside, what is the point of LinkedIn, and who out there is actually pay for its services.  I’ve been a quote-unquote user of the site myself for quite some time, but mostly in the passive sense.  It wasn’t until just yesterday, after receiving an email requesting I authorize a link request, that I allowed the site to read through my Google contacts to find folks I know.  What I found is that I, for some reason, have a bunch of email addresses for folks I don’t actually know.  Strange, to say the least.  But I went ahead and sent link requests to all of them.  We’ll see who responds.

Even as I’m thinking it over and writing it out, I still can’t understand the need for such a website.
