LinkedIn - Professional Facebook?

I have actually had a LinkedIn account for a while.
Recently, I discovered (or perhaps they just added) their discussion threads or topics.

LinkedIn definitely has a professional presence. It offers networking within industries as well as companies. With the capabilities of uploading resumes, it can be a real tool in the job searching arsenal.

Although I have only spend a few hours looking at LinkedIn, my impression is that it is growing as popular as Facebook. And there seems to be more emphasis on knowledge and sharing information compared to Facebook 's advertising.

Here are a couple videos about LinkedIn:




I am going to continue to investigate LinkedIn's wares and update on them soon.
