(OP)
I'm currious to the extent and kind of use of Linked-In for other engineers. Specifically what are the unspoken limits of adding potential/existing customers or vendors or competitors etc...or how engineers use it as a tool to further their career.
Thanks

However, the quantity of contacts does not mean much unless you really know someone.
Such sites are inundated with recruiters and sales people so if you are looking to contact recruiters, it would work. As for seeking clients, you need to be very selective.
There is no magical or immediate benefits, but it could not hurt to be there.
Just my two cents.

Other than that, I am still trying to figure out what to do with the site.
Any owners feel free to add me. =)

You can also participate in some discussions and draw attention and send pvt. message from there.

In Monster, for example, if you have any type of sales in your resume, even as a sales support engineer, you will be inundated with offers ranging from Aflac to car dealerships. This doesn't happen in Linked In.
I have linked with a few of my customers/distributors in case I need them down the road.
If you don't link with a recruiter, you don't really hear from them.
