Social media the “in” thing right now, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere for a long time. We are naturally social creatures. We like interacting with each other, sharing opinions, debating with each other, and basically showing off our lives. Why do you think Facebook is so popular? We like sharing our photos and updating people about US, becaue we are naturally selfish. Not to mention it’s fun to keep in touch with old friends without needing to put any effort into it. LinkedIn is a different beast than Twitter and Facebook. Twitter and Facebook are all about being personal, but LinkedIn is more like an interactive resume. You can build an online resume all while connecting with professional contacts. LinkedIn is different, therefore, it should be treated differently.
