: This sounds like a spin from LinkedIn vs. Facebook. They're using scare tactics to try to convince people to keep their professional vs. friend networks apart.
Sep 09, 2008
: I'm confused with the issue. Colleagues are inherently part of my network on LinkedIn so whether they are friends are not are irrelevant. Maybe I'm misreading the article but I don't know many who add just friends to LinkedIn like they would facebook. What's the benefit for anyone?
Sep 10, 2008
: I'm not doing anything in my personal life that I'm ashamed of so for me mixing the two makes no difference.LinkedIn has been great as a means to add connections to, but to locate potential business partners etc i've found people very unfriendly and not willing to co-operate. I like Facebook as it allows me to connect with people from all walks of life 2

Networking was never one of my strongest skills. I am sometimes shy when it comes to meeting new people, and as a 23 year old who is just two years out of college, I don’t have much of an address book or LinkedIn network (but I have a ton of Facebook friends). The first stage of building my company, One Day, One Job, didn’t (Read More)

: It sounds like networking is in fact one of Mr. Franzen's strongest skills, even if he's too modest to admit it.It's neat to see how social media empowers those of us who don't have the best track record of networking via traditional means.

TRENDWATCH DAILY
Is web 2.0 dead? Did it evolve to something else already, before we could find a buzz word for it? Whatever it is, I can’t say I like it.

: On connecting twitter, our idea is to enable users to either (a) have all of their tweets shared with their socialmedian page, (b) have only tweets that match certain keywords (e.g. I could say only tweets that contain the word "news"), or (c) any tweet to #socialmedian. What think you?
