I teared into Plaxo and essentially lumped LinkedIn in the same pile [of crap]. Was it unfair? No, since they seem to rely on spam to build their business.
But, fair is fair, apparently, they do occasionally offer somethign of value. Via Valleywag from GigaOm: On the acquisition of MyBlogLog by Yahoo! for a reported $12M, Om Malik writes:
This just might be one of the first few virtual company acquisition. One of the founders lived in Massachusetts, while another called Orlando his home, along with two other developers. Rafer lives in San Francisco. And they met on LinkedIn. Yup, something for our friends on Web Worker Daily to chew on!
