Today’s CBC news features an article that discusses privacy concerns and LinkedIn.  Many members of the SIM community, including faculty, staff, and students, have LinkedIn accounts, so this article may be of interest.  Given the increasing concerns with Facebook’s privacy options (or lack thereof, in some cases), it’s not surprising that eyes are turning to LinkedIn.  As the article discusses, the two sites are used very differently; for example, I don’t include any personal information in my LinkedIn account, while my Facebook account does not make any mention of my professional life.
