With so much hype around casual social networks, including Facebook and Twitter, the world's largest business-oriented network, LinkedIn, gets less press, and less is discussed around properly using the site, in contrast to others. But practically everyone recognizes the utility of the service. They may use it to post their online resume, and connect to current or former colleagues, but for most, activity on LinkedIn is done infrequently, and many of the service's features, including Answers, Groups and Recommendations, are given short attention.
