    Does it seem like LinkedIn has exploded recently?

    My wife was looking through it for some business consultants, and found a good one ... which LinkedIn informs her is someone who knows a good friend of ours; what a simple but brilliant feature.

    We've found many lost contacts.

    From an old timer... ;)

    Over the years, you would lose contact with many people. This is great.

    been a member for a few years.. but in the last year, i've received a few job offers on there without looking. Kinda cool, cause they were decent offers.. but I'm happy where i am.

    yes. i've been a member since 2004, but had only 4 or 6 contacts because it just wasn't that big of a deal....but in the last 6 months a bunch of people I know have signed up.

    Its ok, but it seems as if the younger business crowd just uses Facebook these days.
