Reid Hoffman and Eric Ly envisioned a platform that would do three things. Help individuals find jobs. Connect with professionals in their field. Enhance their career prospects through online networking. LinkedIn focused on professional networking and career development. That set it apart from other social media platforms like Facebook and Myspace. LinkedIn would emphasize users’ professional connections. It did this through profile pages.
