I agree with you about the current iteration of LinkedIn. But that doesn't mean a different kind of product, focused on professional development, career management and networking couldn't be useful for folks.

I imagine that many people simply leverage Facebook, Twitter and other social networks for this today, in the absence of something for purpose-built.

This probably won't be a popular viewpoint, but I personally prefer the decentralized messy version of networking we mostly experience today vs. one big monolith that facilitates all relationships.

Typical Silicon Valley libertarianism - trying to solve critical policy issues with a new app instead of fixing the root cause.
