LinkedIn's Appeal to Business People

I recently completed a presentation on the networking site LinkedIn. I didn't know very much about LinkedIn before preparing the presentation so everything in my research was pretty new to me. I found LinkedIn to be a very interesting concept and ended up joining as a result.

LinkedIn is a social networking site that caters to business people specifically, unlike the popular social networking sites Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace, which cater to everybody, specifically young people. LinkedIn provides a way for people in business to interact with each other and it has a wide variety of applications, groups, etc. that are specifically directed toward different aspects of business.

I'm glad I found out about LinkedIn because it has and will help me to get in touch with people who can help me in my professional career. I have already made contact with several people in my future line of work and have received advice and help on how to proceed in my career after I graduate in December.
