> You could say the same thing about this place. Why are we all here? Not to preen or self-promote or "network". Most here are anonymous. Both of us use names, and you have the meethn and I have a "we are hiring" ... Still, I don't think either of us is here just to meet people or just to hire. My profile has only said that for a couple of the more than a decade I've been here. |

Anyways, I feel like we've gotten off-track.. Sounds like we both agree that all the brand-builders and influencers on LinkedIn provide dubious value.
But I still think there is other value on LinkedIn from people who just want to connect and discuss work topics with peers or other professionals in their circle.
I've personally had some good discussions, much like I've had on here, in comment threads on LinkedIn.. Definitely not as much as HN, but if you're smart about the content you engage with (like any other social network) then it can still be useful and rewarding.
