Seems like there's just a much lower barrier to entry with LinkedIn: "Did you work with this person at XXX?" Yep! Click! Whereas Facebook is asking: "Are you friends with this person? Do you want to share you interests/updates/books/photos/music/etc with them?" That's a much tougher proposition to sell.
