This is huge.
As an ex-Microsoft, I really don't understand that move. It doesn't make any sense. If the goal is to compete with the like of Facebook, I don't think it'll work as Linkedin is a business network. It makes me want to sell my stocks (-3.63% pre-market).
If I were MS I would have bought slack to replace both Sharepoint and Yammer.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoWhy is having a social network always just about competing with Facebook? Microsoft is very much in the business space, this is a business focused social network. Not a bad place to work on your business brand. The word is they almost bought Slack, but decided to heavily invest into Lync instead, turning it into Skype for Business and such.
