I like the idea of the blog/site that does not show as much personal details as well. thanks for posting.

It's such a good point about LinkedIn being somewhat limited when needed 'multiple personalities' as some jobs require different skillsets to be highlighted. Funnily enough, this exact issue was raised by a fellow Tweeter when I raised this on Twitter. I think regardless of which service you choose, it's the shift away from a boring paper CV and towards a tailored, targeted online CV that seems the most interesting. LinkedIn might not have nailed everything, but they're definitely riding a crest of a wave that will see the job market shift towards digital than the more traditional offline.

Not to mention the connection requests from people you don't know. So, it's a useful tool to perhaps get found, but to stand out you need to go that bit further. An online blog/website/portfolio is my favourite option. I also came across emurse.com which I am now using as an online CV. I find LinkedIn only allows you to have one personality :) whilst emurse.com allows different profiles/cvs. Which is handy! Also, whilst getting updates about your contacts is useful (LinkedIn does this), I don't personally want everyone to know when I change my information. emurse comes across as a bit more private, which is needed in this very open world!
