I like LinkedIn for what it is: it allows people to showcase their professional experience, knowledge, skills, and ideas. However, I wish it would be more oriented toward professional work rather than becoming a news site. I think it should reign in its focus and scope, and that would make it more effective.I used to use them as a news source, but then I just got tired of it. I wish people were more focused on professional mentoring of others. It should be a minimal requirement or suggestion or something. I would like it to be more of a discussion forum for differing fields and professional interests, a place where people with similar backgrounds can truly come to discuss what they know, interesting trends in their fields, etc. That would help me give LinkedIn a full 5-star review.
