Linkedin or Facebook for your business?

Social networking is now a very important part of our lives and our businesses.
But do we really want business colleagues and networks to see our family snaps?
Facebook and Linkedin – how to use them to make your life easier and more productive.

Facebook is best for friends and family

Facebook is very much a social networking site – its a great way to keep connecting to friends and family.  In fact, like many others I  know, I got a Facebook page – so I could keep in touch with the generations below me in my family – my nieces and their children and friends.  Since then it has grown, but my page is definately a friends and family page.  I have done some great business networking on it, but I have come to believe it is best to be clear about the difference in my personal and public life.

Linkedin – a great social networking business tool

Linkedin is focused on business and business networking.  You can set up groups, connect with similar businesses and network.

Better still: The Tweet Deck application enables you to connect to Facebook and Linkedin all with one login.  Its fantastic!
