This site has an intriguing slogan: "Freshapples helps you to differentiate yourself." You can use the site not only to showcase your talents and skills, but also to meet and interact with "menchers" (mentor + teacher), experienced hands in your field.
It's this stuff about menchers that makes the site promising and special: menchers are those who offer their support and guidance by helping you discover and develop important skills (as well as identify and plug gaps in your skill-set), and giving you and your skills their stamp of approval.
The focus of the site is firmly on career development, but it goes beyond CV-hosting, and forces you to combine self-initiative and expert guidance in a fairly methodical and deliberate fashion. Also, the mencher-mentee relationship is a lot more active (and a lot more structured) than that of "links" LinkedIn.
