Hi,
If you have articles on javacodegeeks or javalobby or javaranch or whatever should you include that on your linkedin?
What about your stackoverflow account?

Any opinions?

I don't think that there is a standard, but my opinion is.... it should either be a good replacement for your CV, or collateral that can enhance your CV. Given that, obviously, it should not contain anything that won't help (or hurt) your job hunting endeavors.
