Hello. I've just set up a Linked In account a few days ago because I'm going to have to make one sometime. I've run into a few problems and have a few questions that hopefully you guys can clear up.
1. I don't have any official work experience in Game Development because I'm not 18 yet and I'm not ready to look for a job. Is it alright to put the mods I'm working on in my Current Positions thing or should I wait until I have a professional experience to put in there?
2. Since I'm working on my own time to further my education should I just leave the Education section empty? It seems like studios might be a bit less likely to take interest in someone with an empty education section but the portfolio speaks more than a degree.
I thought I'd have more questions but I guess I don't right now. Anyone else feel free to post their questions about LinkedIn in this thread.

Sorry couldn't resist.
All jokes aside, LinkedIn is great for keeping in touch with people because you can always look them up no matter how many email addresses changes. That's it's true value in the long run. Because, it's a very small industry and you want to keep in touch with those whom worked the best.
on your crotch
My linkedin is people i've worked with personally, or people i know reasonably well from polycount, generally people i know well enough to know their real names and click "add"!
