LinkedIn became a full time joke about 3-4 years ago so it makes sense Microsoft was tripping over themselves to spend way more than what they're worth as the last of it's users abandon it, per their business model

Lowtax really should be trying to offload SA as a fundamental pillar of the internet for like $2 billion or something. If you trot out $20m they won't take you serious you gotta really puff the numbers up.

But the fact that you have a not half bad case for "SA came up with 'Let's Play'" might interest a bigger company by itself. I know MS would love to throw a wrench into Sony/PS4 if the cost is right.

that ship has sailed, lowtax didnt patent lets play and now its too late so he lost out on billion's

Rating agency Moody's placed Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) 'AAA' credit rating under review for downgrade following the software giant's deal to buy LinkedIn Corp (LNKD.N) for $26.2 billion, citing concerns that it would be funded through new debt.

Is 26.2 billion even a real number? I don't even know how to write 26.2 billion, like I don't know how many zeros are in it. Like how many hot pockets could I buy with 26.2 billion dollars?

most people that aren't recruiters are just on there because you have to be

oh hey a social media site where like all social media sites 99% of the content is worthless bullshit but it's also about work? Woo yeah loving party sign me up for some of that


I guess due to the torrent of people applying for every job in existence at once 5 times a day using easy digital means that your connections really are more important than they ever were and Linkin can help you with that but man what a bummer of a website

The only contact I ever get on LinkedIn is headhunters trying to connect with me after they email me about a job that doesn't match my skillset because their company crawled some old resume of mine (which doesn't match the job either)
