Is the purchase of LinkedIn by Microsoft good or bad? Will it have an adverse effect on the website or will it enhance the experience?

SSG Pete Fleming - I have a substantial Linkedin profile that I have been building for many years and the many groups that I belong to will be sorely missed....Great sources of Intel. Check it out, I think it is public. RP is going to have to take up any slack.....May have to form some new groups here. I think this could be better than Linkedin IMHO...

I have a feeling this is going to end up like News Corp's purchase of MySpace. Bought for $580 million in 2005, sold 5 years later for $35 million.

PFC Al Sethre - myspace is just for entertainment and entertainers isn't it? kind of a knock off of http://www.IMDB.com
IMDb - Movies, TV and Celebrities
IMDb, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.

SSG Pete Fleming - It is now, but in 2005-2008 it was the most popular personal social media outlet. During the same time, Facebook was on the rise because of it's simpler and less congested platform. MySpace just kind of began to fade away into obscurity, and in 2011 it was totally revamped exclusively for entertainers/music promotion.
