Interestingly enough, though perhaps not incredibly surprising, is that there does appear to be some differences between the business users of LinkedIn versus more traditional business sites – LinkedIn users tend to be younger, more affluent, hold more responsibility at their employers and are more likely to work in a small company. This could be evidence that a younger generation – one that has used technology for the better part of their professional careers – are actually accelerating in their careers at a faster pace than their older counterparts, perhaps because they’re taking social media more seriously.
