>> If you can have 500 CEO’s in a network or 1,000 college freshmen, which group would have higher salaries and net worth.

However, I’m guessing the freshmen on FB are logging in and using FB with much more frequency than the CEOs are using LI. Don’t you think?

So part of this is not just about the signups and their makeup, but how deeply the sites are ingrained in their day-to-day business.

Having said that, I see your point and am not advocating one way or another (heck, I wrote a book on LinkedIn…. and think they are quite relevant).

I had the pleassure of spending some time with Jeff and talking to him about product development etc.. He’s a really smart guy whose is able to distill and focus your ideas. Everyone here is talking about linkedin is over but it’s a real business. People talk about Twitter and facebook all day, which are both great tools but are still trying to lock down a scalable revenue model. linkedin has one and it’s making money. Good luck Jeff! well deserved

jeff’s a pretty solid guy, was really impressed with his ability to communicate and rally the troups while i was at yahoo. that said, he was also the biggest pusher of social media at yahoo, and i think a lot of his ideas were not monetizable and sent yahoo in the wrong direction for too long.

that said, i’d imagine he’ll do well at linkedin. very different company that has proven it knows how to make money the social space.

No doubt he was one of the smarter yahoos but Jeff’s main legacy, aside from questionable product strategy, was cultivating a cadre of ass-kissers and political snakes. From what I know of linkedin he will fit in just fine.

Linkedin is thing of the past. Their time is somewhat over. They should have sold LinkedIn a year ago.

Plus, I would really like to know total percentage of people who are paying customers. Is there a reason why Linkedin is hiding that number?

LinkedIn is now officially the next Friendster! Weiner will work his magic there just like he did for Yahoo! Search! The guy’s biggest success is as Terry Semel’s bitch. LinkedIn = fail.

Item one should be to open up app development. Not completely open, since we don’t want LinkedIn to turn into an app wasteland like Facebook, but surely there can be a way to encourage better app development for LinkedIn.

Yes, I don’t think Jeff Weiner is very well liked and many do blame him for Yahoo’s demise defeat in the Search category.
