    LinkedIn says it owns business networking.

    In the future, everyone will likely maintain two online profiles. So said LinkedIn CEO Dan Nye in an extended lunchtime interview last week here in Fortune’s conference room/pool hall. We had opened the conversation with THE question of the moment: in a Facebook world, what’s the future for LinkedIn — or for that matter any other “vertical” social network?

    Yeah, I use it. Mostly just to keep track of people.

    I like LinkedIn but I think they have been too slow in making improvements. I use it mostly just to keep track of my contacts, so I only log in once in while, while with FaceBook, I log in every day. If LinkedIn would add more features that could help their users on a daily basis I think they would be a lot more successful. I know they want to be as professional as possible, but there is a lot they could do to make the site more valuable for their users.
