LinkedIn Profile

My LinkedIn Profile

One of the things I noticed this past week on Google+ was that most of the +'ers are using their LinkedIn profiles as their home pages for the site.  That struck me as weird, but then I was talking to one of the other members of the Blog Tips community about it, and about blogs in general, and she said that she makes her living primarily on LinkedIn.

What the Heck?  How on Earth does one make a living on LinkedIn?

Anyway, all of this inspired me to (finally) put together my own LinkedIn profile, which you now absolutely have to go look at because I've spent far too many hours tweaking it for it to just get ignored.

Question: Does anyone actually use LinkedIn?  What's it for, anyway?
