| Facebook shares a similar premise with MySpace, but with less design flexibility (thank goodness!) and more updates on your friends' activities. Unless you specify otherwise, the site updates users on their friends' every move (Chloe has updated her profile picture; Chloe has removed Weekend at Bernie's as one of her favorite movies; Chloe has joined a Colombian drug cartel). It's not much good for stalking former classmates, however, as profiles are visible only to "friends." And when Facebook recently opened the API, it unleashed a torrent of useful/fun/ridiculous add-ons, which we're sure will only improve with time. |

LinkedIn is social networking for professionals, meaning it has more résumés but no drunken party pics. It's a great resource if you're looking for a job or a job candidate, and lets you build networking relationships and reconnect with past coworkers and friends.
