Francois, Facebook is much more aimed at personal information and such (this is my opinion/view, but it seems I share this with many others). LinkedIn is more serious, but you can't really add anything except groups.
Also, going with a seperate site will allow the community to specify new functionality to be added to the site. I hear some functionality ideas already, that are not directly supported by the other networking- sites. @all: I've had a bit of a busy period last week with me getting a new job and all. I want to pick this up soon. I'll send personal messages to this that showed interest in helping out.
