This is big! Not sure if I believe MS won't make any changes to the company though.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Isn't that like a knock off of facebook? Makes sense they'd want that then. Google too wanted their own facebook knock off after all.

sigh...Once you graduate from college/university, LinkedIn becomes your best tool for getting jobs and talking to employees and recruiters from various companies. LinkedIn is for the businessy-classy folks while Facebook is for the 12 year old trolls and ignorant people. ^If I had to compare the two.

LinkedIn is the shit.

Why? Why bother with this?

Because it fits well into Microsoft's portfolio. They are a company that is more than just gaming you know, they have multiple segments targeting business, this augments that.

Plus they need to diversify, so if one business segment tanks, hopefully it doens't bring the whole company downwards, then they will still be able to sweet talk investors.
