Nice work. My comment is from the recruitment side. I spend a lot of time with candidates on the job search and I find that many candidates are quite "fearful" of soical media because most link Facebook and MySpace to social media and most in a certain age category think that it is a waste of time. What I do is separate the tools into equal parts. One Professional Networking = LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a pure professional tool. Facebook & MySpace is more social and Twitter bringing up the third part. Don't get me wrong, I encourage all three, but I for lack of better term force the activity on LinkedIn as opposed to Facebook. Honestly, I dont really care about there photos of last weekends party, I want to see there business ties and activity. Yet I do participate on all three to post jobs, and search for qualified candidates! Lastly, My wife landed a job using LinkedIn! It is a great story! Nice job, just wanted to add my two cents for what it is worth. "The Recruit4U Guy"... Your site is quite informational! Nice work. My comment is from the recruitment side.
