LinkedIn is a social network used by professionals across the world to find experts and share questions and knowledge. Along with Facebook and Google+, LinkedIn is a major marketing venue used for social sharing. Whereas Facebook is generally about friends, family and fun, LinkedIn tends to be more serious and the sharing on LinkedIn generally focuses on professional topics. Recently, LinkedIn has revamped its company pages and allowed for a more colorful, non-jobs focus in many ways similar to the structure on Facebook, but with a tone that is more serious and more B2B. Many companies that have not found a good marketing home on Facebook are now reconsidering LinkedIn as the ‘goto’ place for B2B social media marketing.
