This is all small in comparison to the enormous benefits it has as a career-building tool. I have gotten numerous interviews and 2 full time jobs in no small part because of LinkedIn.

If there was a viable alternative I'd jump on it, but for now it seems to serve its purpose very effectively.

Totally agree here. LinkedIn is both annoying and singular - there isn't another universally-used online professional profile out there that can fully replace LinkedIn. Even if you only use it for an online profile and PDF resume-generator, it's useful.
