I haven't endorsed anyone, as it's too generic. I have used the old "recommend this person's work at...." feature, as it allowed an actual explanation of why you recommend that person.
About half my endorsements are from people who could not really judge my abilities.
My rule is that I only link to people I can recommend for at least one thing - even if it is running volunteer efforts at events.
For former coworkers, I only link those that I would want to work with again. Former employees, only those I'd hire again.
I'm considering adding this as a caveat on my linked-in profile, as it will cut down on random link requests from recruiters.
