TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
LinkedIn is also a prime resource for anyone who wants to scam a resume, portfolio or certification program, not to mention a great resource for identity theft. People throw out all sorts of personal / career details on there that are ideal source material for anyone who wants to create a false work history or persona.
As a recent discussion on this list pointed out, LinkedIn is also starting to have privacy issues similar to Facebook, where it opts users into sharing their profiles with advertisers by default. A lot of users don't even know this is happening. Have a look here: http://brandimpact.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/a-box-you-want-to-uncheck-on-linkedin/
I recently deleted my LinkedIn account after receiving threatening personal messages and more junk mail than my spam filters could handle.
