Today I Deleted My LinkedIn Account; You Probably Should Too
I find linkedin is the most useful social network I'm a part of, even though I rarely visit it.  I have made many professional connections, and linkedin aggregates them nicely and I find the periodic emails of people getting new jobs or new titles to be very interesting.  I guess I am not as annoyed about the shady tactics as you are, I just ignore them.So I'm sorry that you don't like the site, but I politely decline your recommendation to delete my account.
