I've not been looking for work, and yet people still continue to
contact me.  I've had Facebook, Autodesk and a number of different

approach and I've not looked back since.

Indeed; so much better than Facebook.

I think recruiters are now definitely turning to LinkedIn as a good
resource for getting the right people for the right job,

I gave up Facebook yonks ago.  Too annoying.
