Although I wonder what the use of proceeds is going to be – same as usual or acquiring some competitors (e.g. XING)? And for our friends at Paidcontent – first "nuclear" (I know that was Marc Andreesen), now hydrogen – that's just plain dumb. How about old fashioned "tough times" or "recession"?

LinkedIn hasn't been able to effectively go contextual, vertical, get over the lingering site latency, maintain a consistent executive suite or deploy Web2.0 tools– haven't these investors been sold a bill of goods, again?
