Getting More Work-Related Friend Requests on Facebook.

Is it just me or has anyone else also been getting more and more work-related friend requests using Facebook?  I bet within three month’s ill see my boss sending me a friend request on Facebook.

LinkedIn needs to bust some butt and offer some extra value-added services to its users otherwise it risks a mass-exodus.  All these LinkedIn evangelists will become Facebook fanboys.

I don’t think Jeff Pulver is alone in seeing Facebook as an exciting and vibrant community, even if it is a closed platform where good data goes to die.

    I 100% agree, Justin. It’s quite amusing to see the trend. And, not to be that guy, but check out my article about the same point in response to the Pegoraro column in today’s post:

    I’m glad to see your writing here–thanks for always keeping me apprised on the latest tech in DC!
