You're partially right Rose.
LinkedIn is much more professional that Facebook or MySpace. It's for professional people looking for advice about their careers or industries as well as jobs, but even better than that, it's a place where people who have purchased goods or services can offer opinions about what they purchased and the relationship they have/had with that person.
People have found and used me after reading one of the recommendations left for me by a client. (if you'd like to see what I mean, visit
http://www.linkedin.com/in/kellydobens and see how mine is set up)
Facebook is so very social, that it's hard to establish a professional presence there so people like myself seek a different space for that kind of information.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Facebook addict as well, but I chat/connect with old Army buddies, school pals and other social connections there and banter about life outside of work! and I love the games too!
