What it is?
Online networking event – think of it as a luncheon or cocktail party
What does it do for me?
Allows for visibility without attending every live networking event available
Allows you to avoid being annoying

LinkedIn: Who’s Viewed Me?
by Natasha Labovitz
What is it?
Online social forum and free-for-all. Like the water cooler at the office, plus the post office in a small town, plus your family’s Thanksgiving dinner, all rolled into one.
What does it do for me?
Professional: helps deepen certain relationships in your network, and maintain them over long periods of time.
Personal: helps with work/life balance.

The thing about facebook is, it is everywhere.
facebook – keeping up with what others are doing
