I am a student at UAB in Birmingham, Alabama. I am currently taking a class which addresses utilizing social media from a business standpoint. My team will be debating another team later this month regarding which site is best for business. My team is taking the position that LinkedIn is the best site for business use. of course, this stance was assigned.

However, I personally feel that LinkedIn is the best site for business – whether you are a business or an individual. In my opinion, LinkedIn is, by far, the more professional site.

I watch employee’s get completely lost in Facebook and MySpace daily. I just can’t stand to loose the time.

the most relevant reason for me to keep a hand in LinkedIn is because people I want to reach are there but not necessarily in Facebook-- yet. This could change. The main point is staying in networks where the people are. More thoughts at: Tech PR Gems

Very relevant, Chris, thanks.

I came here after finding your LinkedIn profile linked to your response to Chris Heuer’s “Who is your favorite food or wine blogger?” question–another thing LinkedIN does better (that adds value and builds community, actually) than Facebook.

Something I learned from Christopher Penn at PodCamp Toronto (hi Chris!): register your name as a domain and have it point to whichever social media site you prefer.

Or what I’m planning on doing with my domain name is creating a page with all the relevant social media sites I have a profile on. I won’t put my Facebook link on there but I will definitely list my LinkedIn.

Barlow Keener makes excellent points regarding LinkedIn. If LinkedIn added some “Facebook” like features as the photo being described, I would welcome that. It does what it does very well, and it’s streamlined and focused. I like that, but dear LinkedIn, lighten up a little, a little fun would be nice like photos and such.

What I like about LinkedIn are three things: 1) when a person has a LinkedIn page you know they are serious about networking with other professionals, 2) I like seeing the LinkedIn resume, knowing where a person worked in the past helps me understand what skills and network the contact has and how the person intersects with my network and skills, and 3) LinkedIn gets serious with showing the six degrees of separation. If I need an introduction, LinkedIn can show me instantly who I should talk to for the introduction. Facebook can not do any of the above. I am 100% in favor of including the photo. Such a small thing. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
