The one year stock graphs for LNKD and TWTR now look remarkably similar (or at least they will tomorrow when the price is no longer "after market").

That seems surprising to me, all things considered I actually believe LNKD is a company with real value - TWTR seems far more shaky.

The company is still valued as if it has a whole lot of "real value"--even after tonight's precipitous decline, it is valued at $17B to be exact. Based on its slowing growth in the 30% range, it no longer deserves a unicorn multiple on its revenue. I think the company provides a useful service and will succeed in the long term, but there are two pieces to investing--company prospects and price. I would only buy under $75 which we may see in a coming bear market.

Well, I found several jobs using linkedin, so for me, it works. You have to be a bit harsh on accepting links with people you don't know, but I can't complain...

And there's the odd funny joke too -- once I got a job offer for building a supermarket on the south coast. You know, I'm a 'software architect' after all, got to know how to build supermarkets...

(well I did participate in projects that looked a lot like oil refineries, to be fair ;-))
