I've always thought of LNKD as being kind of useless, every time I go on and have used it my thought has always been the same, "Okay, so what and this is useful how? And why am I here again?"
When I heard about MSFT and the $26 BILLION all I could think of was $26 Billion for a useless connection site. It's one of those sites that a lot of people I know create a profile, add contacts then never go on again. It's the professional version of, whatever FB killed.....MYSPACE!
EDIT: I signed on and it's changed a lot, like a cross between FB and Twitter for professionals. Couldn't do much without being a paid member, something I would never do because I hate paying for anything on a monthly/yearly subscription, especially if it feels like it's work related. I get enough work at work, I don't need and will not pay for a professional work related social site. My own time is my own time.
Now we all know Twitter will be bought for big bucks.
