Why do people use career-oriented social networking sites?

[Jodes]

Everyone is so busy and are moving further away as I get older - it's just become easier to keep in touch with all my friends through websites. I love facebook because we can all upload pic's and show each other what we are up too.

To me, as much to the people I know of, career-oriented social networking sites have ushered better work opportunities, multi-perspective understanding and like-minded friends.

Professional contacts have always been instrumental in bringing career growth prospectives. If I or any of my friends feel confident about anybody else's professional capabilities, we recommend job openings in companies we know of. Also, such sites promote awareness of the courses that can help us perform better in our jobs.

Each one of us knows a little more about certain subject than everybody else, and it is this difference that can help us access the complete picture of perception. This is what I mean when I mention "multi-perspective" understanding.

And one of my close friends is somebody who does not even live in the country where I do. I got to know her through one social networking site, and we have visited each other once with our families across disparate continents.

Because they like to meet people of similar age or interest.

When I use those sites I just like to see the friends or colleagues that came one before in my path...its good to know that they are successful and to perhaps catch up on the time that we were apart. As much as we dont want it there are always the friends that like to compete with you and see who wants to make more money or who is more sucessful when you know that someone is doing well you also want to do well. Right??

I don't work at all! I play with my best friends all the time!

Duh, for the networking. You get tips from others.

Because they're probably desperately STILL trying to get laid.. even while they're at work. Pity.

Myspace for adults, retarded. They make phone and e-mail for a reason.
