What do Facebook, LinkedIn and eZdia offer to the average business person? Here’s my quick answer…
If you are a proffessional and have a resume LinkedIn is for you. Once you set up your profile in LinkedIn you do not do much maintainence and update. It is more or less an online version of your resume. You do get some recommendations, but that does not happen much often Use Linked in to get professional recommendations. Use linked in to grow your business or professional network.
Facebook is slightly less for jobs and professional or business network and has more to do with your networking with your college buddies. Facebook was designed for that does a good job here. Facebook is more personal than professional. Not that it can not be used to promote professional interests. You can still benfit from posting events. But this was not designed that way.
eZdia
eZdia gives a new angle to networking. If you are an expert and a professional and you can give advices on the topic of your expertise, eZdia is for you. You want to be able to be searched for your expertise, it is for you. People will search you for your expertise and will seek your help. It is more similar to LinkedIN than to Facebook. It does have a space for getting recommendations – similar to LinkedIn. It also gives you ability to “trade” your expertise and make money for your expertise. Since it has been launched only recently, it is a very small userbase.
With many opinions going on about LinkedIN, Facebook and eZdia, I hope that my anaysis provide you ability to choose the best among the three that suites your purpose.
