4,883 PointsGood question... I got mine verified but I'm not sure why I did it now. I think it might be important when they add the Job boards.

Anything else leaves you open to outsiders pretending to be you. Depending on what you do for a living or how you spend your time online, that could be a really valuable thing.

Grey Elerson - Good point, the protection of one's identity is a valuable thing. Plus gives the account validity if used as a reference in an interview.
