      Bye bye LinkedIn.

      Everything MS touches turns to processed food waste. Just look at Nokia.

        TBH It's getting less and less relevant for me each day, it's turned into facebook for pimps full of selfie posts, random postings and 'genius' questions, microsoft are welcome to it

          Nokia was dying on its arse long before MS bought it

            A bit like LinkedIn right now. Clearly the business model is failing. First lets turn the company public and cash in. Second, lets get folks to pay us so they can see who's been looking at their profile. Business model complete. Er but it's no working no-one biting. Doh.

              The number of people I see with premium accounts, and not just pimps, means it is working

                Microsoft seem to have an aversion to money, they are wasting it left, right and centre.

                    Yeah. Nokia was doing so well before it was acquired.
