I think it's a great tool to keep an eye on what's going on in your sector.

I do the same - people I have worked with or from the industry i have met.

Recruiters.

Memeber of a few groups too of what I am interested in - most of these are crap though and only check them infrequently.

I have a couple of recuitment contacts amongst mine. They plug me for names of suitable candidates etc. I should charge the fuckers 10%.

I keep getting Linkedin requests but almost always from random people I do not know.

I think the last few I tracked down to people I have freecycled stuff too. Makes me wonder what the point is if I'm to be professionally linked to Barry who I once give some offcuts of kitchen worktop to, for him to put in his garage.
