Whenever I use LinkedIn I have the feeling they are kind of sleazy, starting with their spamming of all your contacts. I bet the majority of their "connections" are unwanted connections gained this way.
And LinkedIn wants you to pay $30 or $40 a MONTH for their full features.
I think Facebook could add a "coworker" type of Friend and a "Facebook Professional" view that just shows coworker links, reproduce what LinkedIn does for FREE, with less annoyance, and quickly drive them out of business. Not that Facebook is not also sleazy, but it's less so, and it could be free
