Earlier this year, many have wondered if social network Facebook would overtake LinkedIn, as businesspeople have begun using Facebook for business networking — and for enjoying its more social features.

LinkedIn’s new features now put it a step ahead of the competition. You’ll start finding connections to people on LinkedIn while you’re using other web sites, through third party applications. You’ll see connections from friends from other social networks like Myspace and Hi5 show up in LinkedIn. You’ll get “modules” (like Facebook applications) and a news aggregator, featuring articles about your industry — LinkedIn’s efforts to make you spend more time on the site each day.
