This is a new concept being developed by Yahoo! with the idea of creating a social network for college students looking to get connected with alumni at companies they might be interesting in working at after graduation. The new concept, which has been seen as something that will change the game, is currently being researched in order to get opinions from college students about the new concept, and possibly new directions of development.

The concept makes it easier to network with peers with similar interests for professional involvement, but also for finding out about companies that may be of interest for a future career. Kickstart is almost like a successful hybrid between LinkedIn and Facebook. If it proves to be successful, and everything is pointing in that direction, than Yahoo! indeed may change the game in professional networking.
