Why Smart Business People Should Move to Facebook

LOVE Facebook. One of my new Facebook friends put it like this: Linked In is the professional, suit wearing “Take a look at my MBA” networking site. Facebook is the younger sibling of Linked In that is just as smart but would rather sit in a bar and draw up plans on cocktail napkins and have drink while networking. MY SPACE is the screaming bratty toddler of Facebook.
