Also, your "just in case" scenario is right on the money. I update my resume there about every 6 months. Otherwise, I may forget to. If you spend 5 or more years at a company and then all of a sudden are back on the market for a job, it may be difficult to recount all of your accomplishments over those 5 years. If you update your LinkedIn account regularly, you will be prepared for such things.
