Many college students have been warned about the "dangers of Facebook," yet few actually adhere to these precautions. The limited profiles seem like a great idea, except when you realize that by posting pictures on Facebook, you are actually giving them to Facebook for it to do with it what it pleases.
For students who are seeking more protection, but would like to use a social network for business networking purposes, try LinkedIn.
This network is specifically built for networking students with businesses.
An issue that may arise from using alternate sites for networking is that it only networks those who join. Therefore, the network is only as strong as its popularity. In networking terms, this is a major downside. Good news is as of December 2007, its site traffic was 3.2 million visitors per month.
