Comments on: LinkedIn and Facebook – Unclear Outcome http://www.charleshudson.net/linkedin-and-facebook-unclear-outcome This is my personal website for posting my views on the world of technology and gadgets.

We know that there is *some* value from it, but it's not clear that it is valuable at the end of the day. What does it provide that people will pay for? I hope it's not advertising. That's boring.

However, I'm not so sure the demographics are yet equivalent between facebook and linkedin. i think there are a significant number of professionals who use linked in but do not use facebook. also, i think there are some problems with the UI and overall layout of facebook which would limit its applicability for professional connections. we'll see what happens, but right now it seems like the intent and purpose of each site remains intact. Charles,
