LinkedIn
LinkedIn is an online social network for business professionals. It's different than other social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook
because it's designed specifically for professional networking --
finding a job, discovering sales leads, connecting with potential
business partners -- rather than simply making friends or sharing media
like photos, videos and music.
Online social networking has
exploded in recent years, largely due to the massive popularity of
MySpace and Facebook.
To start using LinkedIn you need to register and create a profile
page. During registration, you'll be asked for some basic personal
information: name,e-mail address, location, current employer and where you are in college. Then
you'll be prompted to fill out more detailed information on your
profile page.
Connections imply that you know the person well or that they're a
trusted business contact. LinkedIn warns against adding complete
strangers to your network, or accepting an invitation from someone you
don't have a trusted relationship with.
LinkedIn is different than other social networking sites in that it's
designed solely for the purpose of professional networking. As we said
earlier, a LinkedIn profile page is essentially an online resume.
