upload a picture.

basically how this site operates.

like the wall on Facebook. Images can also be

professionals and is used mainly for business networking.

of Connections with people whom they have had a past business
relationship.
• Unlike the other sites, users can invite anyone, but if they get
turned down with an “I don’t know” it counts against them.
LinkedIn is also unique in that it is a job marketplace, and is often
used as leverage in job interviews. It contains its own Q&A section
that is supported by the community. The yolk of this platform,
however, still involves social networking.

filmmaker pages but does still allow personal pages to be
created.

their friends and family can see it.
