8. FACEBOOK’S LIMITATIONS AS A
PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING TOOL
 FACEBOOK LAUNCHED EXCLUSIVELY FOR
COLLEGE STUDENTS—AND MOST USERS STILL
FOCUS ON PERSONAL/PLAY, NOT
PROFESSIONAL/WORK
 YOU DON’T ALWAYS OWN YOUR MESSAGE
(WALL POSTS, TAGGED PHOTOS)
 VIDEOS, PHOTOS, INTERESTS ARE A DOUBLE-
EDGED SWORD
 TOO MUCH CLUTTER (FARMVILLE/MAFIA WARS)

A DIFFERENT
CONTEXT AND
MINDSET WHEN
THEY'RE IN A

NETWORK.
