Some people try to use Linked-in to build their recruitment database, broadcast sales spam, etc.
Others just try to have as many "Connections" as possible, kind of like my teenage kids competing to have the most "Friends" on Facebook. As a speaker I meet thousands of people every year. I have a Cardscan DB for general contacts and try to keep Linked-In as a functional network tool, I ignore random invites and limit who I add so that the network is a managable group of real business contacts. As with all social media tools you need to decide how it works best for you.
