The surveillance factor of LinkedIn is exactly what keeps me entirely off of it... I don't think I've ever gotten a job by using it, it's more like a spare online copy of my resume more than anything else...

It also keeps trying to create a new account automatically off of my gmail account that I can't close... Pretty much a waste of productivity for me to try to use it.

I think it's also because the regular dating sites are setup to not find you a match, so by bypassing them (at least in a way), you have a better chance of actually going on a date.

To keep in mind is that this article talks about people who have had success using LinkedIn, I'm sure there are people who've tried it without success.

Accidentally?
