Facebook has a price to sales ratio almost twice that of LinkedIn.

Should they disappoint in any way, watch out below.

Stay away from the social media stocks IMO. There are really no barriers to entry and they are priced for perfection.

I hope this stops the Connectifier purchase.

I’m on LinkedIn but I’ve never seen any value in it.

I could say the same for Facebook because I don’t particularily like it, but it’s becoming a useful platform because of its immense reach, degree of penetration and localization.

I’ve been misled; I thought with 4.9% unemployment folks would be all over LinkedIn, jumping around happily company to company, networking with all the opportunity that lies ahead...sorry to be so sarcastic.

LinkedIn is one giant spam machine.

It blows my mind that there are social media stocks. And that a ridiculous company like Facebook is worth anywhere near a real company that matters to the world.

I disagree. I have successfully job hunted with LinkedIn. I value the chance to keep track of colleagues.

I got messages from people wanting me to join them on Linkedin and did so several years ago. I could never figure out what it does or how it works>

I have tried to quit it and make it go away for almost two years, but I still get messages all the time. I've gotten a couple of messages from people I recognize and have apologized for not responding and they've told me they never sent a message.

About a month ago I toured the site and still have no idea how to accomplish anything beyond annoying people.

Years ago I kept getting these emails from Linkedin stating that my son wanted me to join. I don’t get involved in social media so at first I kept disregarding them. After awhile I kept receiving them I decided to check it out if that’s what my son really wants me to do. Maybe I’d do it just for him to keep in touch while he was away.

I started to create a profile however I don’t like putting my personal information out on the internet so I left it incomplete. When I got to the TOS I read it. It stated that by clicking the agree button I was giving them permission to access my email account and copy my address book.

I did not agree and didn’t click that button. Instead I hit the back button on my browser to get the hell out of there. A message popped up stating that it was too late, I had already agreed to the terms. That’s bs I did not click that button. Sure enough they stole my address book and (god knows what else they stole) and spammed everybody in it. I had to call everybody I know and tell them to disregard it.

Later when I talked to my son I lectured him about that website, he told me he never sent those invitations and that he got tricked into it himself.

Linkedin is a bogus website and they should be sued for fraud!
