Facebook for Professional Networking

Although Facebook was built as a social network and most people treat it as such – there is a tremendous amount of professional value that can be gained there.

The major concern by business professionals is that they don't want to blend their personal and professional lives. Facebook makes it very easy to keep your personal information private from those you interact with on solely a professional level. There are several blogs out there that give step by step directions on how to do that. So instead of reinventing the wheel I have pasted the URLs to several of the blogs.
