There's a "facebook for business" called LinkedIn, I'm sure some CCers have it.
I looked at it as business contacts were sending me requests to join. Basically you put your employment history on there, skills etc and, in theory, you use this to build a network that you can then leverage to help your employment prospects, business etc etc
The reality is it's useless and actually is really dangerous. For example, I can look at the employee of a competitor. Take a quick look at his contacts and, surprise, surprise, there are contacts from employees of his customers and suppliers. So I can immediately start to access these. Idiots
