I had forgotten until recently that I have had a LinkedIn account for some time, but I rarely use it! LinkedIn seems to be very focused on careers/employment/networking, whereas Facebook has a lot of fun stuff. I enjoyed setting up Facebook and seeing who is out there. I like the fact that you can stay logged in for a long time - some days there is very little activity among my 'friends', but I may leave open and check periodically.
Facebook was discussed on ABC news this morning: Facebook Stole My Identity. (The link may have a brief commercial before you get to the video.) Very interesting story.

i have a linkedin account, too, but i don't really get much use out of it. i guess if i'm looking for a job in the future it might come in handy. facebook is something i use more often.
that abc news story was interesting. i don't blame the kid for being embarrassed. that last part is scary, the part about needing to check credit reports for minors. yikes! yet another thing to worry about.
I also have a LinkedIn account, Ted; I think a lot of us at EPL do! I only recently discovered the affinity groups. Some are for alumni of various colleges, but there are also some for professions, including libraries. I recently joined the COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) group.
