Editor's Notes
Unlike the other social networks, people swarm to LinkedIn for one reason – to connect with others for business-related reasons. Because the mindset of a typical LinkedIn user is much more focused than, say, that of a Twitter user, LinkedIn is the perfect platform to reach out and connect for business reasons. You can use LinkedIn to find vendors you can outsource things to, connect with others in your industry you can partner with down the road, and more.People are on LinkedIn with the sole purpose of connecting for business reasons.
