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.

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...."
