Linkedin has grown phenomenally over the years. The growth has everything to do with the features this social and professional site has. Linked in has quite bright future in coming years and with kitty under their built site is expected to go places.

I like that you can utilize it, I don’t quite understand what it gets me to put my link out there. A random request to link to me?

Is someone using LinkedIn in a way that is creative and not just linking and reading other links?
What about linkedIn Web Conference for Only LinkedIn users.
Or a T&A Session – Opps I mean Q&A session with a corporate leader?

Then I would see the value. But as far as I can see (and I can’t see very well) the current scope is too limiting.

Jennifer, would you be kind enough to explain what you mean specifically by “one has access to”? For sure there are many people listed, but they don’t have phone numbers and you only get to e-mail them if you have a connection. To get a connection you either need to invite them to connect with you out of the blue, which you are not meant to do; or use a networking of intermediaries to connect you up, many of whom I find reluctant because they are protective of their contacts if they don’t think my intentions are correct.

The principle works well, but suggestions by LinkedIn that you have a network of hundreds of thousands just because of whom people you know are contacts with is folly. The reality doesn’t reflect that.

LinkedIN is definitely a site of much value–one has access to the top talent and expertise in the world. The future is also business networks that are vertically based such as in my industry–healthcare, there is Sermo.com (http://www.sermo.com – for physicians) and radRounds.com (http://www.radrounds.com – for medical imaging business leaders, technologists, physicians subspecialized in radiology, radiologists).

80% of our traffic is from the UK. I would guess 80% of LinkedIn’s traffic is from the US. Does that make it US-centric and useless to anyone else?
