"Ask not what LinkedIn can do for you, Ask What You Can Do for LinkedIn!" The Ask & Answer facility gives us what we need.
What: In my little spare time, I've enjoyed writing responses to questions of interest (lack of time and a slow input mechanism - 60 wpm prevents me from contributing more). A pat on the email, and thank yous have been graciously given for some responses. Hopefully others will have given a smile or two to participants.
Visibility - Yes, notably with one or two invitations to connect with those elusive technical and business engineers who want to shift into new paradigms of working smarter (not longer) hours.
Benefited - Yes, if only to think that I have given away something which someone may find of value, to have read something causes me to wonder how to make things better - because the best available just isn't good enough sometimes. I'm also compiling a series of articles based on my answers (usual style 1/2 pagers/blog style). I have used some of my answers to compile favourite quotations....
I'm at a low ebb right now, so I'm off to read a bit more of Beautiful Child - my book of the week.
My philosophy - Take what you need, give what you need without thought of thank you or reward.
