This will be interesting, for everyone like me who uses LinkedIn to shill themselves and generally circlejerk with recruiters. I wonder if this will help how shit Linkedin has been?

no joke, i was planning since last week to buy linkedin stock today then this fucken happened....
>>1302606
Linkedin for 26 billion? Sounds retarded to me.

linkedin is the modern day business card. ever been to a networking event? everyone asks for each others linkedin.... imagine they integrate linkedin logins to Office and Skype for Business.

>ever been to a networking event?
No :(
Still though, just because it's much-used doesn't mean it's profitable.
>>1303182
it is profitable and it has a very diversified business model. they provide premium accounts, recruiting services, and more. take a look at their 10-k financial reports. also, they own lynda which is the premier learning platform on the internet (undervalued). people pay $100 a year just for the courses on this, which are top quality. Microsoft has enough from this acquisition to start their own college
Why the hell do MS and Yahoo love spending billions to buy all these failed social media and business sites?
Does anyone besides street shitters even still use linkedin? That place was pretty much dead a year ago
I got nothing but bots and pooloos spamming me daily when I used it
The handful of real offers were basically offering me my same job at a lower salary
>>1302606
I sold my Microsoft shares when I heard this. It's a Massive overpay. How often does buying at the top of a bubble go well?
Microsoft buying LinkedIn is a good idea, buying it now will bite Microsoft in the ass.

There is no bubble. Won't be another till 50 years at least or a new industry comes along
>>1303237
not an argument. try again

LinkedIn will certainly die now.
Microsoft cannot into social networking.
