interesting

THis is just another way that the web is becoming more conjoined and information is being shared. I think its great as long as its not overkill or not relevant.

I think it's a good partnership that could add value to the user experience. If the ads or articles that are shown on the side are relevant to the user, then it will add value. It's kind of like the google ads on the side of the SERP. If you use Firefox you have the option to turn these off, but most decide to leave them on because it adds to the SERP.

Certainly a way for linkedin to leverage its database of info collected on its users but as a user of linkedin, it sucks. I don't want my data being plugged into marketing databases around the web. I just don't see the real utility of linkedin. Unless their business model changes substantially giving greater utility to the users, I think they stagnate and die.
