There are so many recruiters and HR blogs out there talking right now about using LinkedIn to find candidates. It's sort of a double-edged sword. I think LinkedIn is making strides, but most places I see their banners are blogs of people who work for themselves and don't have that concern or those that are wanting a job.

Don't miss what I said about Facebook though, it's the hot network right now(!):<br/><br/>"Facebook is really hot right now because they recently opened it up to participation from anyone (not just college students), so a lot of self-promoters and business owners are seeing success with it. Also they just opened their API, called F8 Platform, to outside developers, so Applications are a very hot topic right now -- since companies can build their own programs that run within the Facebook community. A contact of mine, Rodney Rumford, writes a good blog about FB and is very knowledgable about social media."<br/><br/>Check out Rodney's site FaceReviews.com if you're interested in Facebook apps. Thanks again Scott, great blog Hi Scott, thanks for the mention! Don’t miss what I said about Facebook though, it’s the hot network right now(!):

Unlike Pownce and Facebook, LinkedIn is accessible through my firewall at work.

Guess which one is getting more attention?

(Twitter is available at the office too – and that could reap big dividends this disaster season…)

It'll be interesting to see how an IPO-induced influx of cash will affect Linked-In. Linked in is definitely getting hot, so is Facebook and I am really digging Pownce (pun intended).
