So Linkedin is going to stall and begin a vegetative life as Skype now?

Oh dear. LI was going downhill already, but the big fat kid just jumped on its back.

26 billion? How

Microsoft does not want to be left behind. Spying on people has become a real temptation, too good to ignore. Just ask Apple and Google.

In the beginning Linkedln was very useful for professionals but nowadays any one subscribes, even with elementary school only. M$S should clean up the house asking for pro titles, otherwise it will be, what now it is: just another social network.

It's a resume link for cover letters. And they can see the kind of company you keep. That's it. $26 billion? huh????

Uh oh!
Microsoft's CEO says,“Imagine you’re walking into a meeting and Cortana tells you about the people in that meeting because it has access to that professional network."
That is extremely worrisome, if not poisonous, in this (former) LinkedIn member's view.
If any of the rest of the commenters on this issue have a LinkedIn profile, try deleting it. You can't. And now, you'll be up there in 'the cloud', unable to do anything about it..
