The Orange Chair

There is a story at the nytimes.com on how LinkedIn is getting an infusion of capital.

I think the reason is simple (and I’ve highlighted it in this quote:

“Now, in the midst of Silicon Valley’s recession-proof enthusiasm for community-oriented Web sites, the most boring of the social networks is finally grabbing the spotlight”

if community-oriented web sites are recession-proof to Silicon Valley, to me that is all the more reason that businesses should feel confident in proceeding quickly with their own plans for such sites.

As for LinkedIn and its plans for growth, see here.
