I'm in the software industry. I haven't written a resume in years, or need to. LinkedIn seems to be all I need now. It is becoming (if not already) the go-to spot for experience and work history. Recruiters and headhunters use it all the time. It's the best social networking site IMO, and I believe will last longer than Facebook will as a service in the long-run.
I believe Jeff Weiner (CEO) really created a good product when it was needed - during the recession, and made it free, creating a huge pool of talent for recruiters to pick from.
