It's both pretty tightly tied to real identity and mostly public. Add to that, like it or not, it's heavily used by recruiters, etc. for professional jobs.

A lot of Twitter handles are anonymous. And, if you're not connected as a friend, you're basically not going to see anything about or from me on Facebook.

LinkedIn is definitely the go to place to check people out for professional purposes.
