Linked In

Critical Analysis of LinkedIn

Linked In is a great social networking site. It is used by people all over the world to help make connections. In business, the main concept to be successful is to know somebody. A great way to network is using Linked In. It is more commonly used among professionals and large business. Although, many small companies and striving business men and women use it too. This website also acts as “people search” to find connections in the field you need.
There are many benefits to this website for the business world. It provides direct connections with people. This could make the difference to get the job. There are no negatives to this website for the business industry. If a business executive is connected through a potential employee, it can help a lot. It will provide him with information such as education and previous jobs. It is helpful to have before an interview or meeting so people can know each other better.
Socially, people can keep connected with this website. As mentioned before, it is mainly used for business, so there are other sites that are for social networking including Facebook and Myspace.
This is also somewhat useful in the entertainment world. There are some executives of some celebrities that people can network with. This is not very common so it is not very beneficial.
This site is not beneficial news wise. It does not provide information at all.
Once again, this site is not for recreation. It is focused towards business networking.
I think this is a very good site for business networking, but not any other type of networking. You can find people to make the right deals and aid in decisions simply by searching and getting acquainted.
