Facebook New Feature Update: Networking Check-box

Facebook has released a new checkbox in user profiles which says: looking for “networking”. What does this mean? Is Facebook trying to beat LinkedIn. Or is this just another minor update?Primarily like Jason I have been under the assumption of Facebook being a networking hub by default. How does this feature add value then I am not. I think the only thing that comes to a profile visitor’s mind when he sees a button like this is that a specific contact is quite open to new friends and networking with unknown contacts.

Sometimes we do see that there are users who ignore friend requests. This checkbox might give a clear idea who is interesting in networking and who is not.

By networking does Facebook mean Professional networking/ Social networking or Gender networking?
