There are many socail networking sites available for people to join. Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace are some major ones that come to mind. LinkedIn is another one which focuses more on professional networking than personal. LinkedIn states that "your professional network of trusted contacts gives you an advantage in your career, and is one of your most valuable assets. LinkedIn exists to help you make better use of your professional network and help the people you trust in return. Our mission is to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. We believe that in a global connected economy, your success as a professional and your competitiveness as a company depends upon faster access to insight and resources you can trust."
LinkedIn is a good site for marketing businesses as well. This week, LinkedIn introduced a feature called Company Pages. According to an article from CNNMoney.com, "The new feature, called Company Pages, is designed to give companies exposure to LinkedIn's over 80 million members, while also giving users access to insight from other professionals in the network."
LinkedIn can be a valuable assest for professionals and businesses looking to market their business with social media.
Jason: LinkedIn is becoming very popular in the business world. Some of these people would never consider using any of the other social networking tools but they see LinkedIn as a more professional way to connect. Interesting blog.
