Is it actually worth it to use Linkedin?

Q. I am skeptical but thinking of using Linkedin.
Have you experienced or know of an actual case where a person got a job because of Linkedin ?

A. DON'T DO IT

I am still trying to get them to stop spamming my e-mail address. If you do it, I would make a new e-mail just for updates from them.

I have never gotten a job from linkedin and honestly they have a bad rep. I have gotten a few jobs actually from snagajob.com....so maybe try there?

Can I create and RSS feed for my Company updates on LinkedIn?
