The goals of Facebook and LinkedIn just aren't the same. That's not to say there aren't individuals using FB for business purposes, but it's generally about connecting with family & friends. That's substantially different than the business & networking that goes on in LinkedIn. And if you think it's just for kids, have a look at the demographics and see how FB is changing. http://www.istrategylabs.com/2009/01/2009-facebook-demographics-and-statistics-report-276-growth-in-35-54-year-old-users/ http://www.nickburcher.com/2009/03/facebook-usage-dominated-by-young.html I'm not denying the usefulness of LinkedIn. I am also on it. I am also on Facebook, but my reasons for being there are very different. Like I said earlier, I keep in touch with family & friends there, but also arrange social events, etc. Just as you have different tools in a woodworking shop for different jobs, you have different social media sites for different jobs.
