The groups are packed with great business related discussions and content.

LinkedIn is fairly new to me. WSJ Connect sounds very unappealing.

We think there is another way for LinkedIn (and Twitter) to be killed. It’s a new feature for FaceBook that we call “Personas” — we created a new Facebook group on it here:

advertising. NewsCorp has the resources to advertise the hell out of WSJ Connect that would make LinkedIn an afterthought. But it may be cheaper for NewsCorp to give LinkedIn’s investors a 5x exit and call it a day. Whichever NewsCorp chooses, they will come out on top.

Of course they could. But they cannot compete with News Corp when it comes to advertising and depth of audience.

If they want to remain competitive in the social space they’re going to have to embrace sharing of all news sources. They must know that by now.

WSJ Connect = incredibly generic
