LinkedIn

LinkedIn was created in 2002 and it is another networking site whose specialty is more business than anything else. It is used for showing the connections you are not aware of by showing your friends. It helps you stay in touch with people you used to know but no longer stay in touch with.
It can help people find jobs and other business opportunities. LinkedIn is for giving and receiving advice about various topics. It even helps out small business owners because the owner can keep contact of clients. This in theory can be a great thing but there can be problems.
When business is done over the internet it’s really impersonal and you don’t really know who you are dealing with. A lot of people join and they have connections but they can’t find a way for the website to help themselves. Some have an account for over a year and nothing has happened to benefit them in anyway so they are thinking that the website is useless. That can be said about any social networking site but when it comes to business it really doesn’t make sense to keep the website if it doesn’t do anything for you.
These networking sites are all pretty similar and do essentially the same things. The difference is that it depends on what type of networking you want to do or which one is user friendly. If someone wants business connections then LinkedIn is good for those reasons and it never ends. But the fact that LinkedIn focuses more on business than social networking makes it in my opinion one of the better business-social networking site. A hard part is getting started with your first connections. Signing up is the first step, but where do you go from there? Once you find out how to use LinkedIn correctly it will benefit you more than the other business networking sites.
