OK, great, you don't find LinkedIn useful. I respect that, but I do not at all understand it. LinkedIn is about 100x more useful than Facebook in my life, even if I spend more raw time on Facebook (and I'm not 100% sure that's true, actually).
I guess it depends on how you use LinkedIn, but for me, it's a marketing & promotion channel (via LI groups mainly), a constantly updated Rolodex, an expertise locator, and a source of information for market research, competitive intelligence and general industry awareness.
Now, to be fair, I am a startup founder, where said startup is in the B2B space. Maybe that makes LinkedIn uniquely useful for me, compared to other folks who aren't in this position. I don't know, I just know that LinkedIn is wildly useful for me. shrug
