Facebook and LinkedIn are two of the Big Three social media networks these days. Most people who use both keep them pretty distinct: Facebook is social, LinkedIn is professional.

Now comes BranchOut, an ambitious Facebook app that aspires to becomes what LinkedIn is to the 500 million or so Facebook users.

I think once this shakes out, the difference between BranchOut and LinkedIn will be more or less the difference between Monster.com and The Ladders: quantitative vs. qualitative.

Still, BranchOut has a one-click import-your-profile-from-LinkedIn function, so count me in as a BranchOut user … for now.
