Like the interview. He definitely comes off as generic. Somehow I wish one of us could of asked the questions, rather than Businessweek.

...thanks to his early investments in Facebook, Zynga, and LinkedIn—three of the most highly anticipated IPOs, with equally high valuations.

"Equally high valuations"? I don't think anyone expects them to have similar market caps.

I believe the sentence means that the valuations are high, similar to the anticipation level of the IPOs.

Facebook's the only one I'd consider at an IPO, though Zynga looks interesting. I am on LinkedIn, but really, who goes there when they're not simply updating their profile. I don't see the value in it as a social network.

You're probably just not the right market for it.

I know folks who obsess over LinkedIn, use it often, and use it profitably. This includes insurance brokers, real estate agents, and most of all, recruiters.

And, as a business, they've done a great job monetizing with premium features.

I too know LinkedIn obsessors. I personally pay little attention to it...
