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.
Justin, just last night my new boss added me as a friend on Facebook 🙂
