Thing Six: Online Networks (Part I)

"Facebook is the backyard BBQ; LinkedIn is the office", Reid Hoffman, I totally agree.

LinkedIn
I just had my first experience with LinkedIn and felt like I was applying for a new job. It's horrible recalling previous employments, education, etc. I wrote my CV a few years ago and simply add to it when I need to. LinkedIn was like creating a whole new version of my CV in a social network environment. I feel I cannot be "profersonal" on LinkedIn, as I feel I can on Twitter and Facebook. I have joined a few groups, and this seem the most interesting feature. I will continue to use, and further explore, LinkedIn. But I am not sure how much I will use it in future.

Facebook
Facebook is where I express my opinions that may not be appropriate to post on a more professional social media space. I post photos of my family, and lots of my little boy! Facebook is where I connect with friends and family, and keep up to date with what people are up to. It's where people go to be nosey!

Facebook relaxes me, LinkedIn makes me tense!
