I just wondered if anyone on here used LinkedIn? and if so do you put your AGS work on your profile?

I'm on it as owner of Indie Game News (even though everyone hates the logo!  :P), so I don't see why not.

HaHa, the Logo reminds of Word Art from Microsoft Office

Haven't deemed my AGS efforst worth mention, although if I manage to release He Watches as a commercial game and make some sales, then I think that would be worth mentioning.

Wrongthinker and anticitizen one. Utterly untrustworthy. Pending removal to memory hole.

"I" am on there, but it turns out someone else created my account and filled in details about me. How odd.

EDIT - Got control now, added you, Stu :)

Man, it's been so long since I've used LinkedIn that I forgot how to add someone from their profile.

I don't personally put my AGS stuff on my profile, though it's not a terrible idea. Just mostly been keeping it to long-term paid positions on my profile. I rarely check it, but for what it's worth my profile is here. Managed to add WHAM, but I'll have to guess at m0ds' e-mail address.

I guess I should update this thing.

Hehe, meh it just tells me you're not in my network and I can't add you Luke :/

Has LinkedIn actually helped you guys in anyway and if so, how? All it's done for me is send me some spam email.

Same here so far. I guess if you are looking for a job, you can use it to enforce your CV, but other than that, it's not worth much at least here in Finland.

I'm on there and find it useful.   I do automation consulting and if you join the right discussion groups you can find out what projects are going on etc.

I have a lot of QA experience in the games industry and have had a few people contact me and offering for me to apply for a role, which was good. I think that it's a good way to keep an online CV, but I if you really want to benefit from it you have to join in the discussions within the groups to get noticed, but I don't have the time to invest in that.

You know, that's not a bad idea!

I mostly just share FOSS news on there, as well as the DIASPORA social networking project, which I'm an intern for.

I should add some games on there, if I ever finish any! ^_^
