Wouldn't surprise me another competitor will emerge and replace LinkedIn. It's time anyway with their annoying spamming of late.
- simonswords82 10y agoImagine you're one of the biggest companies in the world. On from that imagine you could afford to buy one of the most comprehensive CRMs in the world and all the lovely data it holds. In addition to the fringe benefits, if Microsoft use this purchase intelligently they'll reap serious rewards from it. (I fucking hate Linked In, but I think it's a legit purchase for Microsoft)
- vermontdevil 10y agoTrue - I can see them using this purchase to sell more cloud services by mining the data for connections.
