It was somehow inevitable that the grown-ups would come up with their own version of MySpace and Facebook - a way to connect with others online - but without looking like immature goofballs.

That online networking tool is known as LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/ , and seems to fill the bill for many. A professional online networking site, it won't let users post raunchy vacation photos or promote discussions on the latest episode of ''Grey's Anatomy.''
