David Pogue doesn't see the point of LinkedIn:
What I don’t understand is: If somebody knows me well enough to e-mail me with an invitation to join, why doesn’t he just e-mail me directly with whatever his problem or offer is?
I use LinkedIn as a kind of address book, keeping me updated with the goings on of people I know and have worked with.But beyond that, I just don't see the point.

You're just scratching the surface, Larry. LinkedIn solves some specific problems that no other tool I know of does. I posted my thoughts at Why Use LinkedIn?.
I've also been compiling blog posts and articles about specific business applications for using LinkedIn. I guarantee you it will expand your concept of using the tool: 80+ Smart Ways to Use LinkedIn.
If you have any questions after reading those, drop me a line or leave a blog comment and I'll be happy to help.
