When comparing LinkedIn and a personal website, I know there are pros and cons to both. First, LinkedIn seems to be more of a networking site. You can have all your personal information on there and I am sure people look at it all the time but it is more to gain a better network. As far as a personal website, you can customize as you wish. I like it because you can link all your forms of social media to it, you can blog and let people comment on the blog. You can put pictures and videos on the website and really emphasize what your strengths are and hide your weaknesses. The downfall of a personal website is the amount of traffic that it can have. Sometimes it's hard to get people to visit your site. I think LinkedIn and a personal website are both important and need to be used together.
