I'm using LinkedIn to collect recruiter spam and endorsements from people I haven't worked with in ten years.
Really?
I get a lot of serious offers for both programming and network engineering, most of them require relocation though which I am not open to at this time.
I haven't gotten a lot of spam, nor endorsements from people that don't know my work.

lol, this.
LinkedIn isn't that useful unless you have connections to someone at the places you're applying for. Only reason it becomes useful then is "oh, we have mutual connections. He knows Bob in Accounting. Interesting. I wonder what Bob would have to say." Guy maybe go asks Bob and Bob is like, "Oh yeah, that's my nephew Jimmy! He's great. Real go-getter, ya know?"
That's about the extent of it.
