LinkedIn was smart to go public before Facebook. However, $8B for what essentially amounts to a glorified harassment tool for recruiters is a bit ludicrous.

- weston 15y agoI'm not going to say the valuation is right or wrong... but LinkedIn is very valuable for me: No more carrying around business cards I get from other people and I can easily keep in touch with people in other companies in my industry and see who's hiring/changing positions. I consider Facebook the new AT&T and LinkedIn the new Rolodex.
