So, you want to network professionally. Ha!
It knows way more about who your friends are than you think it does.
David Veldt noticed something strange about the people that LinkedIn was suggesting he knew. Apart from connections with mutual friends and colleagues, it started suggesting people he had no connection to that LinkedIn should know about. For example, it suggested someone whom he had emailed with a few times once, and someone he followed on Twitter (he hadn't connected his Twitter account to LinkedIn).
It also suggested someone with the same name as his high school girlfriend. He was friends with the ex on Facebook, but LinkedIn told him that it never uses one's Facebook data.
Thirsty men.
Ashely Lynn Olson created SocialCreeps to catalog the libidinous messages she gets from strange men on LinkedIn.

Seeing who those same thirsty men also viewed.
Go to an attractive young woman's page, and note that very often all the people recently viewed by people who viewed her page are other attractive women. Basically, there are guys out there using LinkedIn to trawl around for hot babes. Gross.
