Head hunters use it all the time and to a great degree of success. Compared to other social networks, Linkedin is much easier to use for business reasons than any other social network I've tried.
Groups can also be pure gems for networking.
Is it worth 26 billion though? I don't know. But Linkedin is definitely a great tool for business'

Well it does have use, but 26 billions is simply overkill. And linkedin is business only oriented so that is why is easier to use it then any other network. But what i find stupid there, is if you dont know a personal information of person to which you want to connect, or their e-mail , you cant connect with them.
Tho, i found a way to bypass that, if you see someone profile and they see your profile as well, then you can connect without knowing any info.
But what i trying to say here, if i already know someone e-mail , then what is a point of connecting over linkedin if i can simply send e-mail and ask whatever i want? It should work as a way to connecting with people which you dont know, and this way it works as connection with people which you already know.
