LinkedIn Amps Up Recommendations. Pay Attention . . .

This morning, I opened up LinkedIn to look at my profile.

Actually, that was “step two”. I received a message from LinkedIn this morning telling me that someone I used to work with had endorsed me as an expert in Lead Generation. I was surprised that this had happened and clicked through to LinkedIn to investigate. When I got to LinkedIn, I found this:

LinkedIn Ramps Up The Friends Recommendations

It’s an attractive presentation, and in it LinkedIn is making it very easy to do what is being quite clearly illustrated. Endorse/recommend the people you know as experts in the fields for which they claim expertise. It’s a no-brainer!

LinkedIn Recommendations . . . Yes or No ?

So I’m reading the thoughts of Jeremiah Owyang, of Forrester Research.

The question comes up: Are LinkedIn Recommendations worth anything?

Jeremiah says “no”, pretty much, but then softened his stance when he responded to my post here.

What do you think? Is the World Wide Web a Way Wacky Wilderness that’s made us all something less than recommendation-worthy?
