LinkedIn Vs Facebook

You can never compare LinkedIn and Facebook for they have different audiences to cater since the first one is a social bookmarking sites while the latter is a social network.

I've noticed that Linkedin has been improving in results for marketing campaigns

I do prefer LinkedIn for the professional business aspect. Facebook to me is more personal.

I do agree facebook is for friends and family, let linkend be for business only..

Try both at a time i.e. linkup both of them with each other and enjoy their benefits.:)

I think both are significant and we cannot ignore any of them just because it has less worth. Both are helpful and necessary for businesses in their own way.

LinkedIn is more use for building the network related to the business community. FOr leads prospective facebook is good than Linkedin...

Linked in is more for the professional types
Facebook is for over all socializing
Twitter is for blogging a sentance

The main difference between the two sites is, Facebook is, this class of sites registered for the whole family, you can create a network, they interact.

I couldn't agree more, Linkedin will give you a more niche focus and easier accessibility to people who have an interest in your product or service. Facebook has more users but you'll get more quality with linkedin

These two has different use for different purpose and they are both useful.

FaceBook is a plaything while LinkedIn at slightest makes several effort at being an expert reserve so it's a morsel like comparing apples and oranges.

The major difference between the sites is facebook is such kind of site where the whole relatives get registered and they could interact and generate the network.

I agree. I am a member of both but find LinkedIn rather boring and restrictive. I have a personal facebook account and a business page.

Linkedin is a professinals social network while facebook is a general social network.

Facebook has revealed many new applications. I recently see the fan page stack application, you can freely design branded fan page to attract the customers.

I don't think facebook should be viewed soley as a social network, it is very powerful for business.

suppose use an angle:
face: b2c, c2c networking
linkedin: b2b networking

hope that angle helps to generate your own strategy in executing your works!

haha. you don't say. LinkedIn is more like "I know this and that" but never gets the chance to converse with them there. It's like a social media site full of CVs. However, you can join groups where you can discuss things and really socialize. Facebook connects people and business, plain and simple.

I realized huge difference in the mechanism followed between both of them. Facebook allows latest and unique features on the site making it very user-friendly. On the other hand.. LinkedIn is quite professional in terms of adding connections.. conversing with them(which is nearly impossible)..

Hello,

In my opinion, LinkedIn is more for proffesional business, not like Facebook, which can be perfet for every kind of business.
Also, the interface of Facebook is more friendly and easy to use than LinkedIn. which also contribute to the fact of using in Facebook.

Facebook and LinkedIn are indeed very different companies and it comparison is not based on similarity. They have different vision, focus, strategies and value propositions. One could use both companies to evaluate the general health of social networking in the personal and professional space. LinkedIn’s focus is to make the world’s professionals more productive and successful and Facebook aims to make the world more open and connected.

Linkedin is used to exchange professional information whereas facebook is used to communicate and share information at a more personal level.
Linkedin users tend to more more older than facebook users.
When it comes to professional network Facebooks BranchOut is proving to be a tough competitor to Linkedin.
Linkedins motive behind the acquisition of slideshare is to increase its value and reach out to more users.

It's too hard to me choose because both are my favorite.. I mostly business purpose used Linked In while used FB for fun and entertainment purpose.

Facebook enables us to make contacts and do conversation with all but facebook provides only social sharing. And Linked-in is the professional site which contains professional expertise and it enables us to share knowledge, ask questions, etc.
