LinkedIn Expanding
LinkedIn Corp. will soon open up its online professional networking service to high school students as part of an effort to help steer their collegiate careers. Effective Sept. 12, the new minimum age to create a LinkedIn account will range from 13 years old to 16 years old in most countries where LinkedIn operates. This might be a good thing to get the students involved in networking at an earlier age so that they can have an advantage when they go off to college or even get a job right out of high school. It will also give the kids a chance to experience a professional social network as opposed to Facebook, where they will be able to learn what is socially acceptable in the workforce and higher education realm. LinkedIn said it will limit what information can be seen on juvenile
accounts and will set up a special customer support system to help
members under 18. They should also consider having these restrictions on VoIP services on any social network.

Having any phone service on the social media sites just as asking for troubles.
ReplyDeleteThe social sites are good for some of your business needs. Using phone services on them will be beneficial.
ReplyDeleteI agree the social sites should have restrictions on all the social sites. There are many problems with it.
ReplyDeleteInternet phone services are everywhere. Though they should be kept professional on those sites.
