LinkedIn

Linked In is a new social networking site that is dedicated to business. It is like most social networking sites in which people create their own page of information to display to others only these pages contain mostly business information. The main purpose of this website is to help people connect with other users in order to accomplish something for their company. When you create your LinkedIn page, you display the information that people would need to know about your what you do and what services you provide or are looking for. Once this information is available it is very easy to be connected to someone who needs your help or someone that can help you with what work you need done. You can search the LinkedIn database for people of specific nature of work so that you can be in contact with someone who can help you the most. People can also search database and find you if you match their search specifications. By searching the website, companies can meet up with investors for a company, advertisers to get the companies name out to the public, or future clients. Another thing you can do is post listings for jobs to find someone qualified enough for what you need. Like any other social networking site though, LinkedIn has its negatives. Just like the other sites, once you create your page, anyone else on the site can view your page. Because of this, you might get many offers and requests that do not fit your need and are not what you are looking for. The business benefits of this website can far outweigh the few flaws of this system though. Because it is meant mainly for business, there aren't many social, entertainment or news benefits of this website.
