Plaxo is a good starter for networking, once you make contacts and friends your account will be banned and you'll get dissapointed, Facebook is a good way to meet your clients or vendors more intimately.

Hey, I have not used Linkedin, I guess you can try both and see which one you like. You'll be surprised how many friends you will find on those websites. From what I've heard, Linkedin is a little more for professionals. But don't quote me on that

Hello,

I am also new to this group, but have been a member of LinkendIn and Facebook for over a year. Personally, I have found that LinkedIn is a good networking tool for my professional life. Facebook is a more informal, socially-oriented networking site. I have used LinkedIn with success for business purposes; and Facebook to stay in touch and socialize with friends, family members and present and former colleagues.

Best regards,

Patricia

Both Linkedin and Facebook are equally useful. Linkedin is considered a more formal Professional site; however if well used Facebook can be a "warmer" site for conducting business.

Just a perpective; Jose G Silva in linkedin http://www.linkedin.com/in/josegsilva

Since I'm currently unemployed, I spend more time on LinkedIn trying to build career connections. I've been able to obtain recommendations that give prospective eimployers an idea of the type of employee that I am. My use of Facebook is a way of keeping in touch with family and friends.

I use both though I think Facebook is more effective and more friendly way of spreading the word about my community media business and my photography. I have been finding Twitter to be effective too.
