Linkedin or Facebook - which is better for business?
There is a wide choice of social networking sites for business people. I use Linkedin, Facebook, Plaxo and Ecademy but I find it hard keeping up with them all and I am sure that I am not getting best use out of them. Maybe they just demand too much time. Linkedin has been useful - especially for getting in touch with former colleagues. Ecademy has helped me get some business. Which do you use and do they help you get ideas, contacts or new business?
Here is an interesting comparison of Linkedin versus Facebook. Linkedin is focused on business individuals whereas Facebook has grown out of a student group environment. ComputerWorld put both sites to the test with six different business tasks and it compares how well they do. The results might surprise you.
