Bargument: Facebook vs. Linked-In

Facebook Linked In

With the Social Network recently prevailing in box offices across the country and Wall Street II debuting at about the same time, we began to ponder how the “Greed Is Good” mantra might’ve inspired Mark Zuckerburg to build his social media empire, which, thanks to an alliance with Microsoft, will quite possibly eradicate the use of email altogether. That’s all well and good for tweens and teens, but corporate stiffs are too self-important. They need their own social media structure. Enter Linked-in, which in rare cases it’s the only social outlet for the super suits. Here’s an unusual instance where the plebeian masses have access to something more opulent than the aristocratic few. With that in mind, are you a Facebook or Linked in person? Before you answer, remember, money never sleeps. Does that help? Yeah, us either. Here’s a series of questions to help you decide.

Let’s see how the two stack up in this week’s Bargument: Special Flowchart Edition.

    LinkedIn’s founder Reid Hoffman owns a significant percentage of Facebook and thus the sites are not adversaries but rather brother and sister.

    I love the infographics thing here and it made me laugh. True, true. I think Facebook should only be used for personal stuff and if you’re doing business, LinkedIn is the best bet. Thanks for creating this. I wonder if you can do a face-off between Google and Facebook.

    You should do one on the new social media site, Path. It limits you to only 50 people.

    Completely opposite ideas of Facebook and LinkedIn.

    Who ever said nerds would be the rich ones in the future was a complete dick for being right. I’m just glad I can use Facebook for creeping and LinkedIn for not feeling worthless. I’d rather not feel worthless, so good research here.
