I have used LinkedIn for a few years, and on occasion have found it useful. I have not used it to look for a job, but I have used it to recruit people and have helped others do so. I also find it handy to keep updated on what acquaintances from previous jobs are doing today-- with my friends, I know it anyway because I am in touch with them through other means, but there is a larger group of people with whom my relationship was strictly work-related, and for keeping up with that group I find LinkedIn very useful. I joined Facebook a few months ago, mainly to see what my daughter was spending lots of her time on, and to see what she was up to (with her permission, obviously--that is one of the strong features of facebook, that you cannot "spy" on people). During the past month or so I have expanded my use of it, and have reconnected with classmates from 30 years ago with whom I otherwise had lost contact. So I quite enjoy it. And its chatting feature is useful too, obviating the need for having a separate chat program running.
