Data on the uselessness of LinkedIn endorsements
I've been considering just deleting my LI account.  It essentially has just been a sink for terrible recruiter mail; in 12 years of having an account I don't think I've once received any sort of actionable message through it.I've also turned off the endorsements because I was just getting driveby endorsements for things like J2EE.Is there a job-search downside to deleting your account, provided you have a decent Google cross section otherwise via conference talks, blog, github, etc?I can't tell if LinkedIn has marketed itself into an actual perception that not having an account means you don't care about career or the like.
