I received two requests from agents to connect on LinkedIn last week, which caused me to rebuild the profile I idled two years ago, when I decided Facebook, blogging and a little tweeting here and there were already more fun than I was up for if I also want to write novels. Anyway, I included my professional background and links to several essays I've written over the years... and I don't know how LinkedIn should/can figure into my bid for an agent.

Do any of you have experience obtaining an agent via LinkedIn? Do you have any insight or advice on what the value of a profile is or should be using that network? Thanks in advance for all advice!
