LinkedIn gets its’ billion

June 18, 2008

In a previous post about LinkedIn, we talked about the difficulty LinkedIn was having in selling itself. Now They have their funding round and their billion valuation. The investors in this case must believe that the growth in social network use among adults and professionals which is expected to be strong over the next five years will benefit LinkedIn. I like linkedIn but am waiting for some stronger features especially around recommendations for the to really fulfill the promise of the professional social network.
