NY TIMES -- Feb 28 -- Bill Gates announced his presence on
LinkedIn by posing a question to the community: "How can we do more to encourage young people to pursue careers in science and technology?" Mr. Gates' appearance presents something of a marketing opportunity for the social network. Microsoft is buying ads across the site today. It also helps LinkedIn to promote an unrelated round of changes to the site, including a redesign that allows users to organize blocks of information, or modules, on their profile page, and to write a short statement that keeps their contacts updated on their current doings.
Mark Brooks: I wonder how long it will be before Microsoft acquires LinkedIn?
