Yes, I got quite a big contract out of it when an old customer from my previous job noticed that I had set up on my own. Essentially they liked my work but hated dealing with my employer, hence they had taken their business elsewhere over a year previous.

Other than keeping my profile up to date I'm a very passive LinkedIn user though - I don't use it to look people up. It's also a source of a huge amount of worthless recruiter spam.
