Personally I am uninterested.
Actually its stronger than that - I really hate LinkedIn, but thats mainly
because  it seems to combine the worst features of Facebook and AOL
(yay - lets invite all the mailing lists I belong to be LinkedIn contacts)
along with sets of predatory (and probably useless) recruiters.

And I wish they wouldn't keep resending messages - one person (who has
gone down remarkably in my estimation) sent LinkedIn invites to 4 separate
of my email addresses, and I have so far received 2 lots of reminders to
each of those email addresses.  Unfortunately I don't run my own MTAs
any more so just blacklisting the whole domain is no longer an option.

  Nigel.
