LinkedIn is a professional networking site. It may be used for many things but is specifically for networking in a professional sphere (as opposed to the social sphere which is what Facebook really caters for).
It can be useful for job-hunting because, through it, you can connect to others with the same skills and interests as yourself and also with managers and others who are looking for the skills you possess.
In using it, you should be careful to list your skills and experience honestly and understand that networking without overtly asking for employment is the way that most people understand its use.
There is a very good Learning Centre which explains what LinkedIn is and how it can be used to your advantage. Recommended reading!
