I have never seen a business run so poorly. And, if we don't elect Obama and Biden to the whitehouse, prepare for perpetual war, perpetual forced draft, perpetual anti-alternative fuel and a perpetual anti-lower and middle class government hellbent on turning us into the new Soviet Union. No McBush. Vote for Obama and Biden, Change and experience.

Something needs to happen for Facebook to be taken seriously by Business users such as myself. I’m not 2 faced – but I do want 2 faces when it comes to mixing too much business and pleasure. I like LinkedIn because there is a certain amount of privacy built in – it means that when you contact someone (which costs money), it’s usually going to get a response as everyone knows it’s cost a bit of money – as opposed to facebook where I am already at the stage where I’m deleting any facebook email with the feeling that ‘if it’s important they can email me directly' (or what even happened to the telephone?). I think facebook has a lot to offer, but for me, I am still trying to maintain some level of professional separation between the two… I mean, you should see my Facebook photo – you think I want my clients seeing that?

Social networking with your friends is different than business networking with colleagues. There's no reason to have photo galleries when you are business networking. I don't know about you, but the people I work with and the people I hang out with outside of work are, for the most part, different. Like Brian said, in a business context, there's no reason to 'poke' people. I have both a Facebook and LinkedIn account, and use them both. LinkedIn is like a virtual resume. Facebook doesn't work very well as a resume. There's only one section of work related stuff, and its not very detailed. LinkedIn has recommendations which, I think, is very useful.

One clear advantage LinkedIn has is in search engines. if you do a google search for "Brian Harris, San Francisco" #2 is LinkedIn. This is a clear advantage when looking for a job, employers can easily verify who you are. Also as you mention, LinkedIn has a much older demographic most of which i think would be less willing to move over to facebook... Can you imagine a 60 year old C-Level Exec poking a colleague?? LinkedIn is here to stay, there will always be a need for it. they just have to embrace Facebook and use it to grow their user base.
