Follow-up question: For those who collect resumes, do you see your sites transforming to integrate LinkedIn info from jobseekers ... or maybe, abandoning the collection of any job-search document?

1.) Eventually.. but, not exclusively LinkedIn.
2.) My service capitalizes on the practical applicability of social media for job search. (I do not fit the strict definition of "job board").
3.) My overall business model is designed to leverage the impact as referred to in the question.
Extra credit: I don't plan to integrate LI into my service. I prefer to have my service complement the user's LI profile by becoming part of the Web 2.0 Job Search strategy.

- I think there is still an issue of privacy or lack thereof with open resumes on Linkedin. But I am using it to promote NicheJobs.com. We don't collect resumes
- Use blogs and forums to drive traffic to my job boards
- Our approach is mostly to provide a quick and direct access to jobs, via individual and niche domain names/address, so we have not thought of incorporating social networking or 2.0 stuff yet...
