[dba-Tech] Google := Gobble?

Rocky,
I know my son-in-law gets benefit from it.  He is a specialized 
head-hunter, a recruiter for high-tech, high-priced, positions - some 
contract, some permanent.  He makes great use of the connections he has 
on LinkedIn.
I have enjoyed the connections I've made.  Haven't yet had a monetary 
professional benefit from being 'linked.'  But, my university groups are 
on there and I certainly benefit from the interaction.
