Meh?

It's a surprisingly good professional networking site. Some people try to turn it into facebook, but I think this is definitely newsworthy, as linkedin users are huge into iPhones

It WAS a good professional networking site, but it's trying to become your business calendar and social network, and that's just not working. Also, for the past few months I've gotten inundated with requests from "friends" who I know are complete strangers and have nothing to do with my life and never did.

I'm on LinkedIn more than I am here.. and that's saying something.
The new Calendar integration looks great and works really well. I updated the app only a few hours ago.
