The thing is, there aren't a ton of job postings in their database, so it's not even a place I recommend going to look regularly.

I find it very interesting and subscribe through Google Reader. My question for you, which I haven't seen you address in any recent posts, is about the Job Search function on LI. Unlike sites like indeed.com, LI does not allow you to setup feeds for performing job searches. This forces users to their site which, from a site management perspective makes sense, but as an active job seeker I do not have time to visit all of the potential sites. Am I wrong in thinking that feeds should be available to bring the info to me? Or that I have to go to LI to view the latest available? FYI - I've been using LinkedIn much more lately in my search. When I identify potential job opportunities, I use my LinkedIn network to submit resumes rather than go through the web submission process.
