If you accept Davenport's position that networking is about reciprocity and giving, I think I agree with him about LinkedIn.

I find LinkedIn to be little more than an online contact list. And one that is often out of date (Have you updated your LinkedIn profile yet?) There is little flow of information. I have used the answer function a bit, but it is not that useful. LinkedIn is useful, but it is boring.

I do disagree with Davenport's position on Facebook. Personally, I am not always sure where the line between business and personal should be drawn or whether a line even exists.

I know a lot of people who swear by it though, maybe they have a special way of using it, or they just put so much time into it.
