LinkedIn Closes Its Round; Got That Billion Dollar Valuation
Mark Hendrickson

*** begin quote ***

LinkedIn has raised $53 million from Bain Capital Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and Bessemer Ventures. The investment values the business social network at just over $1 billion.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, LinkedIn wasn’t doing anything!

As a commenter recently and harshly took me to task about!

So, do you think those folks GOT ANYTHING for their 53 Mil?

:-(

Now what will they try to do to the users. Still no competitor in sight to knock them off.

JOBFINDING: two traditional telecommunication engineers … at UPenn

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

*** begin quote ***

I am looking to hire two traditional telecommunication engineers here at Penn. I thought I would check with you and your “network” to see if you knew of anyone that may be looking for full-time employment that has a telecommunications background. In particular with Call Centers, VoIP, traditional analog PBX services etc for 25,000 customers (Penn Campus).

I have no more information. {Sargent Shultz says “I know nuthin, Nuting, Nothing at all”!} I put it all in the post. Writing me for more info is a waste of your time and mine.

If you’re interested, leave a blog comment with your name and email. I’ll either send you the contact info, or forward your info to them. Depending upon what they prefer. Either way, you’ll get something back from me.

Note: Don’t put your email in the comment itself unless you want spam from a trollbot. The comment form allows you to put your name, email, and website address.

You might want to include a link to a http://www.emurse.com/ resume or such similar site. I recommend making oneself easy to be found.

You might want to take time to write a short cover on it. You never know who reads these things. You might find your own lead from it (i.e., someone, looking to hire an X, finds me saying someone is looking for X, and ‘poaches’ all the people who responded.). YMMV

Good luck and good hunting.
