[Original] LinkedIn [The Safer Alternative:] 
None. I could hold the same rant for Facebook and LinkedIn alike. They’re not there for you. You’re there for them. I did make the mistake of creating a LinkedIn account a long time ago because people said “you need this”. After quite a few mails from LinkedIn requesting me to endorse people, update my profile or water their plants, I realized that I was working for them, not the other way around. I cancelled and deleted my account. Guess what? I’m still alive and well. If you’re a developer, you’re better off by gaining community based reputation on sites like Stackoverflow.
