  You see this every, you know, TikTok takes this from Instagram, Instagram takes this. It's very easy. I wouldn't try to do what everyone else is doing. I would lean in on what makes them different. And love is better than life. As I've heard many times, you know, get million, two million, five million, 10 million to love you, as opposed to hundreds of million.

  you know with facebook what's great about linkedin it's more business focused right exactly it's more resume-like

• neutral assessment Larry Drebes

  um well I think it definitely caters to um a much more utian utilitarian type website um we're seeing uh some websites that just buy our product to do LinkedIn they don't put other providers on there um so be an example of that like a a job um site or job I think sort very utilitarian where it's not about entertainment it's not about you know um information status information or something like that it's it's uh it's very professional um so I I think uh the the fact that there's multiple social g

• bullish assessment Larry Drebes

  I think LinkedIn has a very interesting graph they can do things with yeah the LinkedIn graph seems pretty powerful since it's got the sort of business relationship

• bearish criticism Larry Drebes

  we support obviously Facebook Twitter Google open ID Yahoo and then also things that must be very difficult to set up like live journal or AOL Myspace WordPress LinkedIn you probably wouldn't even take the time to set those up or if you did I mean how much time would it take somebody to set up each individual service like a decent program two weeks each three weeks each

  is it illegal for Facebook and or is it against any regulations for Facebook and linkoln to make you log in to get off of lists it's a very gray area that we're sort of I'm learning about

  LinkedIn is something we get a lot of exceptions on because you have to log into LinkedIn so there's nothing we can do there LinkedIn in this day and age makes you log in to change your email purp

• bearish criticism Michael Yavonditte

  it's a limited API oh really yeah you can't do much with it

• mixed assessment Michael Yavonditte

  they've built a fantastic business I have a lot of respect for LinkedIn and I find it a useful service it's not very social and it's not very fun to use but it is incredibly useful you're searching for people a couple of hundred um couple of hundred million in revenue

• bullish assessment William Quigley

  the class of 201122 is going to be uh Legendary Legendary we're going to be LinkedIn and Facebook and group on and Zinga you you throw in Twitter throw in Yelp right Pandora I we've got such a phenomenal class

• bullish prediction William Quigley

  Tesla and green and Linkedin will be huge company here

• neutral fact_claim William Quigley

  Venture Capital Remains the best way for businesses to get capital and grow rapidly there's Angels there's corporations but venture capital is the reserve currency if you will of startups

• neutral assessment William Quigley

  the amount of venture capital just plummeting in other words the amount of capital going into Venture funds has been going down has been going down rapidly

• bullish assessment William Quigley

  venture capital is the reserve currency if you will of startups and it's the best why why is it the best it's the best because it's an Institutional process meaning every day when I get up I have a job to do I work for my limited partners the guys who give me money I have to invest right right so there's a level of focus that you have that may be an angel won't have

• neutral fact_claim Mark

  despite the market master nations and what people say about Yahoo and the ups and the downs and the drama and the Microsoft deal on the carol bartz and all that your user numbers are pretty damn consistent

• bullish fact_claim Mark

  your user numbers are pretty damn consistent yeah like you guys are still a big company

• bearish criticism Vivek Wadhwa

  LinkedIn is a great company. Don't doubt that. But 10, you know, it was at $125 a share. A lot of people have lost 30 or 40% of their investment already.

• neutral criticism Henry Blodget

  the reason there was such a big pop in LinkedIn was that they only sold a very few shares ... I have a huge problem with that argument I just think it's completely wrong

• bearish assessment Henry Blodget

  if you're at LinkedIn and you're trying to hire some key folks and your stocks trading in the 80s and you're granting them options at that price

• neutral prediction Henry Blodget

  so wait to see maybe Facebook or maybe Microsoft is suddenly about to swallow LinkedIn suddenly Google may get interested

• bullish assessment Jon Avina

  we see Skype getting bought for8 and half billion dollar and then you see LinkedIn worth 8 billion with 500 million in Revenue this indispensable tool how come Google or somebody hasn't bought LinkedIn immediately and instantly

• neutral prediction Henry Blodget

  I think the stock can trade at 75 80 it should price at about 60 it definitely has to be a discount

• bearish criticism Henry Blodget

  LinkedIn left an awful lot of money on the table if if the stock had been priced correctly or closer to correctly in my opinion it would have been priced at $60 a share

• bearish criticism Henry Blodget

  I think that the underwriters actually blew the pricing I think they drastically underpriced it

• mixed assessment Henry Blodget

  I certainly would feel uncomfortable paying where the stock is trading now and I'm surprised that people are very risky at this level but again not inconceivable that it can be worth that

• bullish endorsement Jon Avina

  LinkedIn is a indispensable business tool if you talk to anybody in business they maintain their LinkedIn page and they use it on a a weekly basis and recruiters and I mean is the entire graph of of every employee in the world right Henry and this is an incredibly real company this is a company with a $500 million of Revenue this year it's profitable they're not trying to make money right now so people can obviously point to the profits and say well it's not that profitable but it's a real compa

• mixed assessment Henry Blodget

  I wouldn't have touched the stock the first few days it was an extreme valuation but there are scenarios that could support that valuation

• neutral assessment Henry Blodget

  I think the anybody who actually looks at LinkedIn and tries figure out what the company's worth is faced with the problem which is how big is it going to get over the next 5 to 10 years and that's always very hard to tell

• bearish criticism Henry Blodget

  I don't mean to suggest that LinkedIn wasn't overpriced when it traded on the first day I think it obviously was

• bullish assessment Jon Avina

  LinkedIn is kind of viewed as the first social media IPO um and obviously it's doing well

• bullish endorsement Unattributed

  like you said the credit card to me if it showed my past Year's Cloud score if you average my cloud score for the past six years and you could have a credit card that have my cloud score on it I you trust me I would use it right cuz I want people guy like me wants people to see it 7980 you know like I literally would use a clout credit card

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  I can see by looking at my score some value there right I'm learning how to be a better social person how to get more it's okay had to get more interaction

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  so when I see 30s and 40s that means they're active those those are solid scores those are these people they're real people they're real people they're probably busy they they use the they use this platform Twitter and social media uh casually but they get it right now when I see somebody is above 50 that person's putting real effort in

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  I can tell by looking at here is my Twitter profile and I have um 115,000 followers scrolling down here I see some people don't have a score yet is that mean they're new if it's not pulling up a score so we score every person we're sitting on the Twitter fire hose uhhuh if a person has been retweeted or replied to uhhuh we score them wow okay so if somebody doesn't have a score next to them it either means their account is brand new or they just aren't creating content that is worth scoring

• bullish assessment Luke Beatty

  tons of people get traffic through linkedin right now somebody told me that two years ago i would have told them that that's that will never happen you know and now all of a sudden linkedin has this new home page when you this homepage experience that was sort of like twitter plus tech meme and that really has driven traffic to some sites huh

• bearish criticism Unattributed

  as a Google shareholder I hate it I mean you know you're growing my headcount by 30% you're adding a bunch of expensive Engineers doing a hardware that's arguably antithetical to the whole Android business model and look at what's happened to Google share prod this week I mean not surprisingly it's actually Fallen faster than its peers have in the face of the declining market and given this acquisition because it looks confused

• neutral assessment Rick Marini

  linkedin's done a great job outside of outside of Facebook and they address a 10% of the global Workforce as white collar managerial for us though we've we've got the other 90% as well not just that 10% but the other 90% yeah so they're Wall Street in a lot of ways we're Wall Street and Main Street right

• bearish prediction Rick Marini

  you know what this could all come crashing down rupon IPO spirals out of control LinkedIn uh tanks or you know Zinga doesn't get out and this whole thing comes apart I need to raise my money now

• neutral assessment Rick Marini

  they would rather be compared to Facebook right do you want to rock the boat and take away your status of being one of those big big networks and just being a part of that Network

• neutral fact_claim Rick Marini

  when you're making $500 million why would you bother

• bearish criticism Rick Marini

  linkedin's weird unwillingness to embrace the clear winner in social networking for years

• bullish endorsement Rick Marini

  linkedin's done a good job at it so learn from them

• neutral assessment Rick Marini

  LinkedIn did not integrate themselves into Facebook zero integration in Facebook why they've created their own network right so what I say is that LinkedIn owns the pond that they fish in and we fish in this giant ocean of Facebook that we don't own right so I think LinkedIn likes to be kind of a standalone site and be known as kind of the Professional Network right

• bearish assessment Rick Marini

  LinkedIn has about 80 million I think a month so Facebook's 10x bigger but on a on who comes back every day which is what Facebook cares about about a million come back to LinkedIn every day versus the 500 million on Facebook right hu huge difference

• neutral fact_claim Rick Marini

  LinkedIn has already paved the revenue path um recruiters know they have to pay for these kind of services recruiters pay what like 5,000 a year to have a with Linkin I believe I think it's seven or 8,000 per seat per year right on LinkedIn and they have how many people you think doing that 10,000 well linkedin's going to do about five now that they're public this the state is out there they're going to do about 00 million of Revenue this year right so 250 you think is and about 300 million is i

• bearish criticism Rick Marini

  LinkedIn is very Ganky in terms of I they have to really redo their entire interface they have actually done some interesting updates right now with the feed and with news sharing LinkedIn today I think is is interesting it's linked today which is their news product I guess sort of however it's still very hard to navigate through Linkedin I mean it's very archaic what happens is you've got nine years of product built on top of each other and a lot of PMS there that that want to make sure that th

  I think linkedin's a great company actually I think they well you spent time at monster so you knew the job space yes LinkedIn certainly did the job space better than monster you would agree I I would absolutely agree

• bullish assessment Jason Calacanis

  I think they have a LinkedIn nobody's seen this LinkedIn job application button is brilliant... that'll make it more efficient

• neutral fact_claim Dan Martell

  there was other companies like LinkedIn that kind of took a stand uh back to your user so that they could get that inside the product

• bearish criticism Joanne Black

  do not use that wow I don't like it can you guess why I don't like it well because you're asking for the cold it's a cold call basically

• bearish criticism Joanne Black

  I receive invitations from a lot of you and they will say please join my Professional Network on LinkedIn well what that communicates to me is you didn't take any time at all to learn about me

• neutral assessment Joanne Black

  key things to LinkedIn it's not a place to sell people do business with people

• neutral fact_claim Joanne Black

  it's not a place to sell at all

• bullish assessment Joanne Black

  LinkedIn is a phenomenal tool it is the professional standard social media site

• bullish assessment Kevin Gaither

  LinkedIn you know theoretically the the king of social media for for business professionals

• neutral criticism Greg Tseng

  I was just like complaining last year God you to to unsubscribe from a $500 a month LinkedIn thing and I email Jeff over there or whatever I was like I can't unsubscribe for my $500 a month thing why isn't there a button and they're like yeah you know and I guess they you know had made it a little bit you have to talk to a rep so they can try to get the save or whatever and I was like you know in this day and age can I really just click a button and stop paying right you know like every other se

• mixed assessment Kevin O'Connor

  I think LinkedIn is one of my I think it started out really kind of sketchy not not good at all uh how so like Ganky like poor design it wasn't yeah poor design just it didn't really makes sense and it's one of those startups I think that evolved and revealed itself over time and you realize everyone has just put all of their Prof professional personal information uh information into the system now it's you know it's huge huge lead gen sales sales lead generation

• bullish endorsement Kevin O'Connor

  I think Reed Hoffman from LinkedIn would be the possible exception

• bullish assessment Peter Horan

  they're platform agnostic which Google is not... they didn't have to carry the baggage of having to shove Google Plus down people's throat

• bullish endorsement Jason Calacanis

  I love the LinkedIn team and I think The Best Is Yet To Come for both of those parties

• bullish assessment Jason Calacanis

  they continued to have amazing uh uptick the the Google features that were released just didn't keep up with what report I almost felt like it did them a strange favor because reporters offering

• bullish assessment Liz Gannes

  I think that as impressive as what rapportive has done what they're planning to do is even more impressive I mean and that's just I'm not revealing anything yeah I just I happen to have seen some of the future and the future is amazing

• bullish prediction Jason Calacanis

  I love the LinkedIn team and I think The Best Is Yet To Come for both of those parties

• neutral assessment Jason Calacanis

  in the case of LinkedIn I think that you could it could be particularly problematic a public company

• bullish prediction Jason Calacanis

  I know exactly what their uh plans are but I can't say right other than they're very cool I think that as impressive as what reportive has done what they're planning to do is even more impressive

• bullish endorsement Jason Calacanis

  with reed hoffman's and jeff's amazing linkedin you can work backwards

• neutral assessment Unattributed

  it's one of those spaces where there isn't a lot of content out there because I think people just the people in these roles don't talk about it a lot and the people that do have been around for 15 years and what they say is not really what you should listen to anyway

• neutral assessment Unattributed

  I don't see them being a brand leader and I think that you could you have this opportunity to be a brand leader

• neutral assessment Unattributed

  I think that the help Des software is far more monetizable the feedback product is far easier to get into companies it's a shorter sales cycle uh it's a much more viral product because it's done in public

• neutral fact_claim Jason Calacanis

  LinkedIn bought them for $118 million

• bullish endorsement Jonathan Strauss

  I think LinkedIn will help a lot

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  40 billion for Facebook 11 billion for LinkedIn

• bullish prediction Unattributed

  I think that LinkedIn hasn't started monetizing their their their their Network yet ... all they've done is monetized recruiting they haven't monetized sales Solutions or marketing and they got a lot of smart people there and I think they're on a they're on a uh a role

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  they're not monetizing it as effectively as say LinkedIn is today

• bullish endorsement Don Charlton

  so I look at companies like workday which obviously we're able to get to a scale that we're nowhere near at um but you know those are kind of Mo and even LinkedIn quite frankly although it's a different type of business model I just kind of admire companies that were sort of sass isn't I mean it's monthly subscription kind of yeah they make a lot of money off their recruiting product but what I admire about those companies are is is they're patient

• bullish assessment Jason Calacanis

  LinkedIn crushing it with their content stuff

• bullish assessment Tim Stevens

  for those people LinkedIn is definitely a threat and a good one

• neutral fact_claim Tim Stevens

  LinkedIn beat on Revenue 324.50 million members up from 202 Million last quarter order 170 million uniques

• bullish prediction Tim Stevens

  I think this growth will probably slow down U But ultimately it's a very important player right now ... I think it'll continue to grow in importance in terms of you know not only a social platform but also a publication platform

• mixed assessment Howard Lindzon

  they seem the most Unstoppable they're already used to taking your credit card so the ads are not their Core Business ... they really have good data and they are in the data business ... if LinkedIn were to buy Angel list all of a sudden they'd be the largest Investment Bank in the world ... I bought some back today but you know I I I you know 175 it's extremely expensive and Rich and fully priced so it's not for the faint of heart

• neutral assessment Joel Spolsky

  I hope so for a technical recruiter that's certainly the case

• bullish assessment Joel Spolsky

  Zillow LinkedIn yeah um you know these are companies solid stable yeah they're solid they're just killing it they're just they're just doing fine um they're um leaders in their space there's no real sort of flashiness about them they don't need to make a lot of noise um and there's I don't think there's anything about either of those companies that's uh um a fad you know or or temporary no far from it

• neutral prediction Gil Penchina

  I don't think in the short term it matters I think in the long term I've been talking with the Angelus team about a variety of ways you can fix that one is to have a fund so that those thousand dollar people can invest in a fund that then invests in these syndicates

• bullish assessment Gil Penchina

  there's a ton he's got a literally a ton of businesses inside angel lists and every time you and I raise money on there he gets a 5% carry I know we get a 15 or actually we can set whatever you set yours at 15 so I'm at 15 as well and then he is five so if we hit our hey pal or LinkedIn it'll make a little money a unicorn and appreciates 100 million awesome a five million dollars yeah and he's got you know fifty or a hundred now from listen to get so far between all of us huh that he owned a sma

• bullish assessment Gil Penchina

  so seed and around investments are an asset class and he is going to have the best data and the best access to that AXA class of anyone he can build a massive financial services company to sort of have that access the Syndicates also interestingly do have some pro-rata rights which he may be able to use down the road so that'll be interesting he's building a marketplace for talent

• bullish fact_claim Gil Penchina

  LinkedIn was 750 X peak 750 X at the peak

• bullish fact_claim Unattributed

  you've got millions in Revenue so you probably have 3 million in Revenue which means 2 million is being burned which is 150k a month burn which equals 2 million in burn

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  I do think you built what will ultimately become a 10 to20 million in Revenue business with a 50% margin but that's only going to be worth 200 million

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  I think if it grows right now as stated did this business can get no bigger than $200 million in value because that's what Venture sources work at status

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  you can go on LinkedIn and get a bunch of data too and linkedin's more than happy to give it away or not um they're a little more limited um on their we do use their AP and we have a like a couple cool features that are around connecting you with people LinkedIn really wants Drive traffic so there's a great feature that shows you um your warm connections to a company so say you see mattermark you don't know anybody you can connect your LinkedIn account and it and it will tell you who of your con

• bullish fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  So we hired a salesperson and said, 'Just go talk to them and see if there's a coherent like go see if the' He came back and said, 'There's a ton of demand.' And so we built essentially what the LinkedIn Talent Solutions product is.

• bullish fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  The surprise was how quickly we moved, and this is the major majority of our revenue, is to corporate accounts.

• bullish assessment Reid Hoffman

  This was completely paradigm shifting.

• bullish assessment Reid Hoffman

  So we knew that that would be the source of money.

• bullish fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  the Series A deck that we had presented was basically exactly what we ended up doing, which is actually pretty rare in the consumer internet.

• neutral assessment Reid Hoffman

  Reed figured out how to make a business that prints a billion dollars a year or more

• bullish fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  upload your address book at the time and see who else you know was there cuz it was kind of this melding of what would I Why would I want to upload my address book?

• mixed assessment Reid Hoffman

  probably the real most fundamental luck is that none of those competitors got to better ideas than we did before we did.

• neutral fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  I think last year the public filing was something like 1.4 or something like that.

• bullish fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  in order to accelerate that, we had to invent certain things that are the norm today. So, for example, one of the things we invented was um uh upload your address book and we'll tell you who else is here.

• mixed assessment Reid Hoffman

  over two-thirds of them thought it was a terrible idea. And the reason they thought it was a terrible idea was fairly straightforward, which is they said, 'Well, look, this product really only gets valuable once you have a couple million people in it so that you can search for people and you can find the people you don't know and connect with them for expertise or hiring or whatever that thing may be. But until you get to a couple million people globally, it's it's a useless product.'

• neutral fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  LinkedIn, not in its full shape, but in its initial shape. It was like, well, what does the internet mean? Everyone should have a public professional identity. That public professional identity should help them in how they work. Should help them find jobs and gigs, but it it should help them in all kinds of ways. They should be connected to each other in some way. That will be something that should the the world that should be in the future. Maybe we should do that.

• neutral fact_claim Reid Hoffman

  I think it's over 330 million people globally. We're in every country. We have basically everything from from high school students to CEOs.

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  something I learned way in the early days at LinkedIn as we kind of kept reordering the flow because it's such a big ask it's like go and give me all your contacts go and give me all your friends unless it's a specific app that I know I'm GNA supposed to message my friends it's a pretty big sort of like commitment to do that most are resistance they wor everyone's going to get spammed and so so you know we put it later in the flow

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  it says so I found you while I was looking around the network let's connect directly I'm happy to help you with requests and forward things incoming to you it'll probably make both of our networks bigger and that last sentence it will probably make both of our networks bigger sounds dumb kind of a throwaway it's a little bit awkward turns out that the number of people who invited after they received this invitation and click through to confirm were higher than when that sentence wasn't there

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  we would actually test like Which invitation does do you send that actually increases the likelihood that everybody else who gets them invites more people so how many two generations away are we actually getting instead of one generation

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  we had to figure out how to make LinkedIn viral we had to figure out every person who signs up how do we get you to invite more people to your network

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  where I learned a lot and really cut my teeth at LinkedIn was on viral invites and we used to spend a lot of time testing the virality of our invitations

• neutral fact_claim Josh Elman

  we had this theory of like how do we get people in this network and we called it growth usage Revenue G because we had to figure out how to get people just in the network even if they didn't do that much so that the network would expand then then you know we'll figure out the products that will really start to engage people with more usage and then over time we'll we'll be able to make revenue

• bullish prediction Des Traynor

  doesn't mean like you know it does not mean that they're like they're not going to go on to be hundred billion dollar companies forever more.

• mixed assessment Des Traynor

  I'm not saying that they're wrong because I'm sure that they're building a network. It's just it's not as well defined.

• bearish criticism Des Traynor

  LinkedIn has actually opened up a market for it's like LinkedIn but for people you've worked with, which is actually what they used to be, right?

• bearish criticism Des Traynor

  it's rendered the value of your LinkedIn social network to be like less than what it once was.

• bearish criticism Des Traynor

  I'm pretty sure somewhere that is a team in LinkedIn celebrating every new feature they've made that helps you automatically connect to hundreds and thousands of your friends and and endorse them all for WordPress while you're doing it.

• bullish endorsement Cameron Teitelman

  we have around six over 600 um everything from people like my Cassidy or Constantine grey the co-founder LinkedIn who will spend an hour a week with a company as like a personal coach

• neutral assessment Jeff Weiner

  we have had an opportunity we've been very fortunate to hire some world-class editors people like Dan Roth from Fortune right and he's made all the difference in the world

• neutral assessment Jeff Weiner

  it is not where we're focused right now could we hire and become could we hire writers and become far more of a principle in terms of generating original content yes okay that's not the focus that's not the strategy the strategy right now is to create the best possible platform

• neutral assessment Jeff Weiner

  we want to be a platform you know we want to enable Publishers like that to get their content in front of our membership first and foremost we want to be driving traffic back to those Publishers

• neutral fact_claim Jeff Weiner

  yeah so last year was 2.2 billion in Topline Revenue yeah and it's profitable

• bullish assessment Jeff Weiner

  if we're helping those people get hired we did our jobs right massive value even though it may only be measured in X number of minutes

• bullish fact_claim Jeff Weiner

  we're ultimately about making people more productive and successful that's our mission

• neutral assessment Jeff Weiner

  I think historically there's been too much Focus certainly for us on measures like that asset utilization and I'd like there to be more focus on the value propositions and building something that makes a difference

• bullish prediction Jeff Weiner

  I don't think we've done a good enough job and we're going to get this right there's no doubt in my mind we're going to get this right and once we do I think it's going to unlock a lot of value

• neutral assessment Jeff Weiner

  I think the flagship is a good product and I think the flagship product has been getting continually better I think the flagship product has room for improvement and in particular I think all of us at the company that work on that are really excited about what's possible with

• neutral fact_claim Jeff Weiner

  there were a number of situations where folks were interested in leveraging the API to essentially compete with us and to commercially exploit the service and we want to make sure that there's a quid pro quo

• bullish assessment Jeff Weiner

  we still have a robust API program and we have uh completely open apis when it comes to sharing content uh some leveraging of the the profile Min profile or rollovers but with regard to commercial apis uh which are very closely aligned with the Talent Solutions business the Marketing Solutions business the sales Solutions business uh there's a process there

• neutral criticism Jeff Weiner

  there's certainly a lot of room for improvement across the platform

• bullish fact_claim Jeff Weiner

  LinkedIn has fortunately been able to create a lot of value for our members and customers over the last several years

• bullish assessment Jeff Weiner

  every team at the company is now capable of launching essentially whenever they want

• neutral fact_claim Jeff Weiner

  a few years ago uh we made a very concerted effort to invest in the infrastructure in the back end and uh at one point enough technical debt had accured that had we continued to go down that path I think it would become prohibitive to continue to do the things we want to do and certainly to scale

• bullish assessment Jeff Weiner

  it's a full-fledged ecosystem it's gone Way Beyond uh the the identity in the profile

• bullish assessment Jeff Weiner

  it really is a platform that enables our members to connect to opportunity a whole host of ways

• bullish assessment Des Traynor

  LinkedIn did this really well they moved well they didn't move but they offered an alternative to these heavyweight endorsements where you have to write a testimonial as to why somebody is great and I said why don't you just click this button and it's going endorse this person for five skills doesn't matter if they have them

• bullish assessment Des Traynor

  people like LinkedIn are really really good at this uh you know basically no matter what I do in LinkedIn the chances there all my contacts get told about it

• bearish criticism Unattributed

  if they say if people like us started churning off the ability for people to reach us that screws them up

• bearish criticism Unattributed

  the whole system is designed for the people who are trying to get in touch with important people not for the experience of important people on the platform so important people are constantly like I cannot take LinkedIn I'm getting too many emails too many requests and the signal to noise is messed up

• bullish prediction Molly Wood

  all this stuff focusing in on linkedin's actual I I think that your instinct is right that this is about the market in general is Twitchy and nervous and there is a sense that Silicon Valley is about to fall

• bullish endorsement Nellie Bowles

• bearish criticism Balaji Srinivasan

  one of my theses is of Facebook Twitter and LinkedIn LinkedIn has the least engagement of users on there and the reason I would I would say that is the case is that it's really a commercial network not a social network

• neutral assessment Balaji Srinivasan

  LinkedIn in mail even is kind of you know lacking as a product maybe in some respects is a five hundred million a year business for LinkedIn

  if anyone here is use LinkedIn there's an in mail feature where people can pay LinkedIn to be in your inbox but you don't get paid and senders also want to send mass messages they can't do that they want to send surveys and stuff like that they can't do that so they can actually pay you for your time and that might seem like a small thing but LinkedIn in mail even is kind of you know lacking as a product maybe in some respects is a five hundred million a year business for LinkedIn there's a huge

• neutral assessment Josh Elman

  part of LinkedIn's value was be fine to be found to be findable so that some day if the opportunity comes to you you're actually still going to respond to LinkedIn versus annoying you so much

• neutral assessment Josh Elman

  LinkedIn is sort of a weird and bad example for many senses on this cuz LinkedIn you know I mean job networks aren't something where somebody changes jobs every year so if you're starting to get job increase every day or every week that's actually too noisy which some people complain now as a problem with LinkedIn

• neutral assessment Josh Elman

  most people who signed up for LinkedIn we're only really signing up as a friend hit vitamin in their network and they were there to be found and if you were there to be found you actually weren't a daily active user or even a monthly active user of LinkedIn you were kind of responding to inquiries when you received them once or twice a year maybe accepting connections to build your network and that was okay but the people we really cared about the early days were the searchers as we're building

  this is an example of LinkedIn's profile completion meter it's fairly famous in terms of one of the most successful and earliest types of gamification and this really hinges off of the concept of the endowment effect

• bullish assessment Rachel Hepworth

  LinkedIn obviously viral loops right LinkedIn originated the address-book import which everybody loves so dearly to spam all of your network to invite them to LinkedIn but it's help them grow exponentially the key about LinkedIn is that it becomes more valuable for its members the more people who are on it so it's really primed for that viral loop

• bearish criticism Matt Horiuchi

  one thing that a lot of people assume is that because you're a b2b product LinkedIn is a great place to start advertising but the difference between LinkedIn and a lot of other platforms is that they have a minimum cost per click for the the feed post that you put up so unless you're able to convert you know a $5 minimum click into a customer at a reasonable rate and will never work for you so it's not a channel I recommend if you're a fledgling b2b I'm creative
