I don't think it is good or bad really. When I read resumes I usually look the person up on LinkedIn anyway.
I wouldn't go any farther than that and add any kind of other social media stuff though.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Neutral, so long as it didn't make the key information harder to find. -

If your linkedin profile is 100% polished and bullet proof, then neutral. Otherwise, definately not.IT guy since 12/00

This is what I assume most recruiters and employers do so I don't think it matters.Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. -

You often times get to see interviewers checking out your profile and then can get to know more about them first. Also it lets them know that you're able to make professional connections and come well recommended.Not sure what value your LinkedIn profile adds to your resume.
If I have the space I'll definitely put it on but there are far more important aspects to my resume. -

It's not on mine. But generally if I see a resume I immediately hit LinkedIn anyway to check them out so I assume people that actually hire people on a daily basis probably do this as well along with Facebook, Twitter, etc. All the more reason to cheap your social life in check. -
