LinkedIn?

I started receiving invitations to join LinkedIn a couple of years ago, from colleagues, old friends, but also from people I've never met in real life.
I must confess I've never taken the time to create a profile, partially for lack of time, partially because I'm somewhat skeptical about the real benefits of doing so, partially because I've been lulling myself, thinking that I already enjoy a good visibility.
However, in the last few days I've experienced a flurry of invitations, and being somehow sensitive to meaningful coincidences :-), I began thinking that creating a barebone profile won't take more than a few minutes (not sure I'll ever find the motivation to go much furter, but that's hard to say).
Moreover, a quick look on the LinkedIn site proved that many people way more visible than me, including for instance Bjarne Stroustrup, are now part of that network. I'm sure quite a few of you guys have a profile there too.
So here is the question: Did you find the thing any useful? Have you experienced any significant nuisance? Is is worth the trouble? (if you're too shy to say it here :->, tell me at pescio@eptacom.net). Thanks!
