LinkedIn CEO: Company Open To Original Shows, Streaming NFL

LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner says they are not pivoting to video as several social media and news media outlets have recently done, but the company is open to buying and developing original shows.

[...] He noted that shows similar to ABC's "Shark Tank" could potentially do very well with its business and networking minded users.

[...] Weiner also expressed interest in pursuing deals with professional sports leagues such as the NFL or NBA.

    Does anyone know how to visit the site and see public profiles without logging in?

    lately, no matter the browser or source ip address, i get blocked by an authentication wall that prompts me to log in

    i just want to see more about the recruiter that emailed or texted me. it i am the product then at least let me see who is trying to make me their bitch

    i dont want to signal intent or draw unwanted attention. maybe that ship has sailed.

    ms buying them really should have prompted me to delete the account, but that is not good for anyone that may feasibly try to switch jobs at some point... it is very hard to tell what companies rely on it even if i dont

    If you want to enjoy rich web content, you will have to log in and activate javascript, etc like any other modern person.

      Hmm, I can't help but to think: If you want to be an attractive wage-slave, you will have to log in and activate javascript, etc like any other attractive wage-slave, so that they can harvest your precious bodily... telemetry.

    I was on linkdin for about 3 days, then realized it was just facebook for people who use facebook but need to have more socializing.

    If i was an employer, i would NOT use linkin to hire. I'd rather pick names randomly from the phone book:

    "Let's see.... Navin Johnson. He looks like a good target-- for hiring, of course... yes...."
