Anybody using that? Opinions?

Not asking for contacts, just wondering if that website has any use or not.

only for young or inexperienced people involved in business. most on that site have degrees and mba's but its more of a way for them to pat themselves on the back. productive businesses could careless and it wont affect your income at all.

It's not a bad idea to get listed, the connections can lead to roles or partnerships, otherwise it's whole basis for existence wouldn't be valid. Signing up for a profile won't hurt, but I would sway away from Facebook/MySpace etc., every major employer scans those sites, and drunken pictures and shit talking between friends won't put you on the short-list for any job interviews.
