I have not listed any skills in my LinkedIn profile and I still get the occasional message from LinkedIn saying, "So and so has recommended you for Skill X! You should confirm this and recommend them back!"

More irritatingly, I was recommended for Rails by a few former coworkers. I haven't worked with Rails in a couple of years now and I don't know Rails 3 at all. Their recommendation is legit: I was reasonably skilled in Rails 2 stuff back when I worked with them. But their knowledge of me is outdated.

Yes, I've endorsed people for Awesomeness, Cats and Endorsing Skills

You can type in whatever skill you want, including Murder, Genocide, and Rape.
