Social Networking for the Business World
LinkedIn is one of the sites I have on tap for review. It is a very different type of social networking site when compared to myspace, friendster, or facebook.
LinkedIn is all about business: recruiting, sales, investment. It’s not
exactly a marketplace or a job site but rather a community of more than
8 million people who rely on one another to get things done.
Companies such as Google and Microsoft have used LinkeIn to recruit some of their employees.
This is another valuable site to build a profile on but in a different fashion than myspace or the others. It isn’t going to drive traffic or sell a product for you necessarily but it is a good way to meet other people in your field or other fields that may want to swap services with you.
With over 8 million people on LinkedIn including many venture capitalists and major players in the tech industry it is a site that you can’t afford not to be on as a businessperson.
