Personal vs Professional

So I realize that this is coming in a little late, but I still wanted to make sure that I made the post regarding which social media platforms seem geared more towards professional and personal use. Well obviously LinkedIn is geared more towards professional use, but I think that it is probably more useful for personal rather than corporate use. That is, companies represent themselves on LinkedIn as well as individuals, but from what I have seen, it seems like LinkedIn is more useful for personal networking than for connecting with businesses. Facebook started for more personal use, but is now used by lots of companies. I think that what Zuckerberg calls "the open web" where just about anything online can be "like" or commented on using ones Facebook account is a super powerful tool for businesses. When it comes to Twitter, I think it is most powerful for professional use. Sure, people use it to power blast their opinions and daily whereabouts, but frankly, I find that to be narcissistic. I mean, who cares? Still, I have used Twitter and Tweetdeck for news and like that it brings stuff that I am interested in and subscribe to to me.

      There are many other social media platforms out there, but instead of laboriously working through every one that I can think of, I will say this: I think that that platforms in general facilitate group conversations and discussions. Those platforms that are more based around individual profiles and people seem to be more geared towards personal use. Those that after more based around products, social issues seem more geared towards professional use.
