Wow I look forward to the expert it's going to connect me with when I'm working on 15+ year old mission critical spreadsheets driven by VBA and ado. My guess is it will just link me directly to their obituary.

I have a LinkedIn because you're supposed to I guess. It's so weird to login every once and awhile and see people using it as their facebook. Maybe don't share your homophobic rants on the website that is supposed to be for job networking!

According to my calculations they could have bought 10.48 Minecrafts for that amount of money. I think that would have been a better investment.

Price/Earnings (TTM) 0.00x Price/Sales (TTM) 5.45x Price/Book 3.80x Price/Cash Flow 45.01x LNKD was not profitable in its latest fiscal year, therefore the P/E Ratio is not applicable. Its Price to Cash Flow Ratio would give an alternative indication of its expense relative to the Computer Services industry. loving lol

8-Bit Scholar posted:LinkedIn was heavily pushed on my in college but as I now work in my field of study I've found I never use it. LinkedIn is vaguely useful as a professional as it means you might be able to find a hiring manager at a company you'd like to interview at, and you might be able to get them a message or learn a little about them before you meet them- but contacting them requires them to check their LinkedIn mail which almost nobody ever does and LinkedIn is terrible about sending you notifications about stuff like that. It's probably most useful as a thing dull HR workers check after looking at your resume to see if there's anything else there that you didn't mention on the resume/cover letter (that they didn't actually read but ran through a text analysis app to see if you mentioned the 5 job terms they actually care about).

In light of this news I think that Notch really hosed up. He only got like two billion for Minecraft. Apparently Microsoft is convinced that they only way they will ever bring decent software to market again is to buy it from somebody else so I think he could have held out for a lot more. Eagerly awaiting the news that Microsoft's CEO has launched a bold push to dominate the gaming market by purchasing GameFAQs for $38 billion.

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.
