Not Just Another SNS

LinkedIn can be a valuable new tool.  Granted, all the social networking sites we have been using could be valuable new tools.  I don't think I would call LinkedIn just another social networking site though.  Linked in offers groups, polls, and practically writes a resume for you.

Unlike Facebook, which offers new games to play, LinkedIn tells me that I might be interested in particular jobs.  I can click on News and get information that will tell me how to find a job with LinkedIn or BYOD.  These are things that I think about in my day to day work life these days.  I can connect with professionals, not my family, especially not my children's friends.

The polling experience was very interesting.  I asked a very open question and got a good response, but with feedback from my classmates, I thought of ways to refine my question so that I might be able to use LinkedIn for my Twitter paper.  And from my informal survey, 22 of 43 or 51%, of the respondents preferred Linked in.
