LinkedIn is a more formal way of Social Networking. There isn't as much chatter, but that does not mean the content is any less relevant.
In one regard it's like putting your resume on the Internet. Many members list current and past jobs and affiliations. You generally LinkIn, or connect, with people in your industry, or similar industries. And you may chose to Link with friends, relatives, etc.
There is an option to sign up to receive email alerts for your LinkedIn connections on Status updates, personal recommendations, business questions and more.
The main thing to remember is any information listed is your choice. And any connect requests are approved or denied by you.
LinkedIn set ups begin at $100.
