LinkedIn is trying to take business-sites away from Facebook

As known, last year Facebook has launched its not-very-secret plan of conquering the Internet, according to which all web sites will embed social plug-ins Facebook Connect (from the Like button to the commenting system). And to date, most sites have voluntarily become nodes in the huge Facebook's social graph. Business-oriented social network LinkedIn wants to repeat this trick only in the business space. This week it unveiled the set of social plug-ins, almost the same as that of Facebook. LinkedIn is bidding on the fact that most people wouldn't like to interfere with their work and business with personal life. For example, when somebody shares a link to new photos of Jennifer Lopez ass, he would like his business partners to receive this link. And vice versa, if a person pitches his Facebook feed with PR and business news - no one will make friends with him.

LinkedIn provides business sites and private blogs the following plug-ins:

Share button - to share business news and interesting offerings



Business Card = your resume + business contacts



Company Profile



Company Insider - shows customized information about a company including who, in the logged-in person's network, works there, a list of new hires and job changes, and even the ability to follow such news



LinkedIn login that supports OAuth 2.0
