Facebook Versus LinkedIn

Facebook and LinkedIn are social networking sites. It is known that Facebook is the most popular social networking site. LinkedIn may not be that popular but it is another social networking site which is more for the working professionals.

Here's a video of LinkedIn...

LinkedIn is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. It can then be used to find jobs, people and business opportunities recommended by someone in one's contact network. This social networking site is more for those who are looking for jobs or employees.

And here's a video of Facebook...

Facebook is a platform for users to use their true identity and connect with their friends. Users are usually able to find their long lost friends on Facebook and users are able to update themselves about their friends. It is a way for people to socialize on a "mega-network" and it is way to keep people connected globally.

How are these social networking sites different?

1. LinkedIn is more for working professionals to connect together whereas Facebook is for users' personal usage.
2. LinkedIn is a site for working professionals' contact details and it is restricted to who the user wants it to be given to. However, Facebook's contact details may not be restrictive as users have the freedom to reveal as much as they are comfortable with on Facebook.

Since Facebook has fewer restrictions and more applications, it seems more user-friendly to users and it seems more restricted in LinkedIn. However, LinkedIn comes in very handy when people need to get into the working circle. Both social networking sites have their advantages and it appeals to different categories of people.
