Another social networking program has surfaced to join the masses. But unlike Facebook and Twitter, this site serves a little different purpose. Unstead of having the purpose of informing you of your social life, LinkedIn works to inform you of your business life.
Primarily for perfessionals, LinkedIn allows communication between businesses and co-workers. References can be transfered and job openings can be found. All-together, this seems like a very smart idea. I know I wouldn't want someone looking for my job experience and references on Facebook : \. The success of this program will allow people to peek directly into your professional life, create an easy place for workers to meet and discuss future plans or dates, and perhaps make application processes obsolete. It would be great to avoid filling out multiple resumes and applications to jobs you wish to apply to. Instead, just send them your LinkedIn address.
LinkedIn plans to go public in the next few months. I wish for it's success and hope that when I graduate into the real world, it reaches a widly known basis and I am able to use it regularly to further my professional career.
