LinkedIn vs. FaceBook

Blogger Jeff Pulver has abandoned LinkedIn saying that "the more time I spent on Facebook, the less time I had for LinkedIn." He now finds himself logged in to FaceBook for hours per day updating his status, to catching up on groups he's joined, and checking and responding to messages. Increasingly Pulver found LinkedIn gave him "no compelling reason…to stay and interact." The key may be that "FaceBook is great for business networking as well as socializing, and provides a platform for creating networks among like-minded people."

Does FaceBook's social networking better meet the needs of business?
