Microsoft will be buying LinkedIn?

Nada. Shows Microsoft seems to be about three years behind the curve on everything. LinkedIn has become a bloated social media site without the pleasure of anything social. More junk emails than three other social media sites combined.

The rich get richer

LinkedIn has always had a certain potential, I thought. I guess now we’ll never know…

The spread of M$ evil will continue.

M$ will probably data-mine it, sell what they can, take whatever they want from it, and make it worse and/or merge / assimilate it with their other products.

I expect the impact on me personally will either be:

1) My LinkedIn account expires and dies because M$ combines it with their M$ accounts, and I don’t log in frequently enough, so they delete it like M$ has deleted so many of my past M$ accounts due to infrequent login.

or

2) I finally get a lasting M$ account because they link my LinkedIn account to a M$ account, causing me to actually have an M$ account, possibly causing me to participate in M$ developer forums a little bit more, since I will be less likely to get annoyed trying to log in.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

A boy can dream..

Edward Snowden alerted the country to some of the tracking/surveillance/following/butting nose in/done by our government which has since multiplied (without our permission) and now is being done by any and all (not just government) with nefarious intent. Microsoft is able to force download windows 10 on a computer I believe. Together, Microsoft and Facebook plan a huge under-the-sea Atlantic cable. Nothing to see there? I am not a member of ANY social website outside of this one.

It happened. 26.2 billion. They’re betting on the Cloud, apparently.

You know, I keep forgetting that LinkedIn is a thing until I am job hunting or it shows up in the news.

I wonder what my profile has been doing for the last three years…

Oh, wait … the question is about Microsoft buying LinkedIn.

My bad, I thought it was about burying LinkedIn.

On second thought … what’s the difference?

Oh no, another Microsoft acquisition. Seemed that there is no escape for good, upcoming companies from the clutch of big companies (more like empires).
