Over the last year, I have noticed an interesting trend: Facebook is gaining as a source of professional connections. Last year, about 95 percent of new Reachable customers uploaded their LinkedIn connections, indicating that LinkedIn was their default professional network and the primary source of their professional contacts. In March of this year, only about 48 percent of our users uploaded Facebook friends, meaning they considered the network a less valuable source of professional connections.
However, over the last nine months, I have seen Facebook steadily increase as a source of professional connections: Now, 65 percent of Reachable users upload Facebook friends as professional contacts, a 35 percent increase over that period. Total LinkedIn uploads have dropped to 88 percent. The percentage is still very high, but the trend is clear: Facebook is catching up as a source of professional connections.
Pretty much what you would expect.
