News Corp. and LinkedIn in ’serious talks’
Cory Bergman November 28th, 2007
Following up on TechCrunch’s “rumor” that News Corp. was thinking about acquiring LinkedIn, now there’s a report from VentureBeat that says “talks are serious.” VentureBeat also says the plan would be to integrate LinkedIn with the Wall Street Journal and other News Corp. papers. As I mentioned in an earlier post, LinkedIn’s best feature is its social job postings.

I think there’s more to it than job postings…I like the fact that as a social network, it focused totally on professionals. Key is to limit your friends to professionals, and only those you actually know. I try to be tactful, but I don’t accept requests from people who I’ve never met, or really just exchanged business cards with.
