      Hmm, the topic seems to ring a bell. The Insider News - CodeProject[^]

            I admit I can't see any logic to it: LinkedIn does seem to be the breeding grounds for the world's dumbest recruitment agencies rather than anything particularly usable. Lot of money for just all our personal details...maybe I should close my account... :~

              My first thought was also to close it... I actually maintained my account to see some proposals, but only contractors made connection... I just can't imagine what MS will do with it...

                Hmm. Now would be a good time to set up inlinked.com, to take over, after ms has screwed up linkedin. We'd better be quick, though. The ms screw-up velocity* had been increasing geometrically. * "velocity" means speed in a particular direction** ** "Particular direction", in this case, means very much the wrong one.

                  No, but I bet we're going to see plenty of advertisements by MSFT; advertisements targeting rival technologies. I am starting to think this is genius, but 26 billion for a junky HR website seem excessive.

                          And we will probably see Google, Oracle, Amazon, and Intel all change their HR policy so that employees must delete their LinkedIn accounts as a condition to hiring. Once LinkedIn is aquired, Microsoft will be able to easily index who works for who which will give them an unfair advantage in head-hunting skilled professionals and tracking what skill sets are getting hired the most. They can gauge the direction the industry is moving based off hiring today and not future revenue reports allowing them to position Microsoft ahead of the curve, at least that's the way I see it.
