Plus, LinkedIn charges a fee if you want to connect with someone outside of your network. The other day I came across an emerging start-up called Salesconx (http://www.salesconx.com), which is a bit of a mashup between LinkedIn’s professional networking and eBay’s online marketplace model. I wouldn't go as far to say they will be competitors, but Salesconx is definitely something to consider as an additional resource.

I can't help but see the platforms as utterly different. What is certainly true is that the Linkedin team seem to really dwell on the changes they make to the platform - one assumes to really get them right. Do they act in 'web-time'. I don't think so, but the API route seems well thought out. In terms of monetization LinkedIn must be in great shape, and whilst it is behind the curve in terms of some functionality - LinkedIn all round ability to execute seems A1. No wonder the rumours of a buy-out are evident. I find it so funny the way LinkedIn is always compared to facebook. I can’t help but see the platforms as utterly different.

End of Story." The line between social and professional sometimes is very very blurry. I met a guy on a windsurfing-related FB group, we met in real life, become friends and after a while the guy told me they need a consultant and this is how I've got my current gig with rate higher than I had before. The guy I know was among fans of a local singer, he hooked up with some other guys on her myspace and they recently started a company that promotes young artists. I am sure everyone can come up with examples like these... #5 “Facebook is social and Linkedin is Professional. End of Story.”

LinkedIn would do well to establish a higher standard of QA and relevance than what Facebook ended up with. Thus, it maintains the ability for the community to drive extensibility while ensuring the applications that become available to end users are contextually relevant for the audience.

There are stark differences between LinkedIn and Facebook. LinkedIn never wanted to be another Facebook, that's like saying an adult wanting to be a teenager again.
