According to the Wall Street Journal…  LinkedIn Corp., has received a $53 million infusion from blue-chip venture capitalists that values the company at $1 billion. I don’t know about you but… $1 billion that’s a lil steep maybe if you combined the salaries of all the apparent 23 million users then I’d think it were worth that much.

The Chief Executive Dan Nye, of LinkedIn quotes “If you’re not on LinkedIn, you’re not on a professional network“. He also goes to say “LinkedIn’s average user is 41 years old and has a household income of $109,000“. For more information about the source topic please check out: The Wall Street Journal.

I recently implemented the MyBlogLog / Gravatar Plugin for wordpress into my blog. So, when and if leave a comment on my site I shall check out your MyBlogLog profile and add you as a friend if you aren’t one already. I found the tool / plugin to be a great way to network with more of my fellow bloggers. Feel free to check out this link and add it to your blog that way you too could add more friends within the MyBlogLog community.

I just signed up with the Free Link Exchange service called Spott.com (provided by Adbrite). The site seems to be a lot like Entrecard. However, there are alot more restrictions and they have to “Review” your submitted site. So I guess i’ll give the site a try for at least a month.. it’s what I tend to do to “new venture” that people come up with.

In my opinion I think Entrecard is a great way to network with other bloggers with some of the same interest as well as other bloggers with different interest. I guess that is why I find it very odd when I go to buy advertising space with my Entrecard Credit and my site gets declined… Even when the site that i’m trying to advertise on via Entrecard has similar interest that I post about currently. I guess people don’t want to generate Entrecard credit or rank up within the Entrecard system. But, then again this will probably be the same people who complain about Entrecard in a month or two on “how it didn’t work for them“.
