Article: Facebook Has LinkedIn In Their Crosshairs

It is obvious to many Facebook users that we're using it for networking. Facebook has also recognized that and is making changes so that it is better for those of us who are networking professionally in its service. Facebook is making changes to its structure to allow for the concept of "networking." Soon you will be able to sort your friends into "groups" for yourself, so you can quickly separate social friends from business colleagues.

If you are using Facebook for networking, right now you can change your "Looking For" (under Profile, Relationships) to "Networking." That instantly will let people know that you are in Facebook as a professional, rather than someone who is interested in just socializing.
