LinkedIn and Facebook are two great social networking sites used for professional development, networking and exposure. Which one is superior? The answer is both. In terms of professionalism, both have the ability achieve success in development, networking and exposure. It ultimately depends how you use each one of them.
LinkedIn is like an online resume and business card; it's straight to the point. Facebook allows for a variety of uses appealing to a larger network at all ages. Facebook can range from personal private networking to professionalism with the use of fan pages and advertising.
From ones personal perspective, the profiles in Facebook are created initially for the purpose of connecting with friends, family, colleagues and professionals. I would say LinkedIn is more business-oriented and mainly for professional networking. Facebook can go both ways. I personally use them both equally.
