I hear all these talks about Linked helps people connect and make contacts and keep in touch and yada yada, can anyone on HN actually share some personal experiences in which Linked In may have helped them at all?

Cause personally, I think it's no use to me, but I am willing to take advantage of something I might be overlooking.

I use it all the time to look at a candidates resume.

It's easy to put anything you want on a paper resume that you hand me.

It's much harder to put a bunch of lies on your resume when all your peers can see it.
