The most avid users of social-networking websites may be exhibitionist teenagers, but when it
comes to more grown-up use by business people, such sites have a surprisingly long pedigree.
LinkedIn, an online network for professionals that signed up its ten-millionth user this week, was
launched in 2003, a few months before MySpace, the biggest of the social sites. Consumer adoption
of social networking has grabbed most attention since then. But interest in the business uses of the
technology is rising. Many companies are attracted by the marketing opportunities offered by
community sites. But the results can be painful. Pizza Hut has a profile on MySpace devoted to a
pizza-delivery driver called Ted, who helpfully lets friends in on the chain's latest promotional offers
Dude, I just heard some scoop from the Hut, ran one recent post). Wal-Mart started up and rapidly
closed down a much-derided teenage site called The Hub last year. Reuters hopes to do better with
its forthcoming site for those in the financial-services industry. Social networking has proved to be of
greatest value to companies in recruitment. Unlike a simple jobs board, social networks enable
members to pass suitable vacancies on to people they know, and to refer potential candidates back
to the recruiter. So employers reach not only active jobseekers but also a much larger pool of
passive candidates through referrals. LinkedIn has over 350 corporate customers which pay up to
$250,000 each to advertise jobs to its expanding network. Having lots of people in a network
increases its value in a super-linear fashion, says Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn's founder. He says
corporate use of his service is now spreading beyond recruiters: hedge funds use it to identify and
contact experts, for example. Jobster, a Seattle-based social-networking site, is entirely devoted to
recruitment. Jobseekers can post their own profiles and tag their skills; these tags are then used to
match candidates against jobs posted by employers. Unlike on LinkedIn, companies can set up
private networks to ensure that the right kinds of people are alerted to openings and that the data
they post remain under their control. Information needs to stay behind when a user leaves the
company, argues Jason Goldberg, Jobster's founder. Where LinkedIn emphasises scale and Jobster
emphasises specialisation, Visible Path, a startup based in New York, focuses on the strength of
individual relationships. The firm analyses email traffic, calendars and diary entries to identify the
strongest relationships that exist inside and outside a company. An obvious application is to
generate leads: a salesman can use the service to identify who within his network has the closest
links to a prospect, and request an introduction. Such techniques are also gathering momentum in
knowledge management. IBM recently unveiled a social-software platform called Lotus Connections,
due out in the next few weeks, that lets company employees post detailed profiles of themselves,
team up on projects and share bookmarks. One manufacturer testing the software is using it to put
in experienced members of its customer-services team in touch with the right engineers. It can also
be used to identify in-house experts. Software firms will probably start bundling social features of
this kind into all sorts of business software. To work well in the business world, social networking has
to clear some big hurdles. Incentives to participate in a network have to be symmetrical, for one
thing. The interests of MySpace members and of jobseekers and employers may be aligned, but it is
not clear why commission-hungry salespeople would want to share their best leads with colleagues.
 Limiting the size of the network can reduce its value for companies, yet confidentiality is another
obvious concern for companies that invite outsiders into their online communities. Social
networking sounds great in theory, but the business benefits are still unproven, says Paul Jackson of
Forrester, a consultancy. But if who you know really does matter more than what you know, it has
obvious potential.
