Yes, but how much? $30BB, where it was last month? What about the $16BB it sits at today?
I think both figures overestimate the value.
- aidos 11y agoI've had my fair share of LinkedIn hate in the past. Using it outside the tech industry is really useful though - it's almost like a GitHub profile in some circles. Using it as an advertiser is something else altogether. Their advertising interface sucks but holy moly, it's the best business ad targeting platform in the world. People use it, that makes it valuable for advertising - that makes the company valuable. How valuable, not sure - but I think the tech industry doesn't really get LinkedIn so there's a lot of knee jerk bias.
