Satya & Weiner (there's your sitcom title) were just on Bloomberg and explained the acquisition. I'm not exaggerating when I said I really could not understand what they were saying. It felt like they were just saying buzzwords without any verbs in between.
I feel like I am in a strange wonderland.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoI really don't understand why business people use so many buzzwords. Do they really think we're all like, "Yeah, man! Cool!"? Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows sentences filled with business buzzwords are meaningless bull poop.
- cylinder 10y agoIt's because they have nothing else to say. They really don't know why these companies are valued the way they are aside from these buzzwords they keep hearing. LinkedIn isn't a hypergrowth company. Every professional I know has a profile on it and so is every recruiter. Their stock is below its peak. They make a paltry income as a mature company. So, all that's left are magical buzzwords to make you think "something is brewing that will eventually make money." Nope. MSFT gets conned once again buying a trophy.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoIndeed. At what point does marshmallow fluff stop costing billions of dollars?
