In case you haven't heard, Microsoft purchased LinkedIn yesterday:
The software giant said Monday morning that it would acquire LinkedIn in a $26.2 billion cash deal. The acquisition, by far the largest in Microsoft’s history, unites two companies in different businesses: one a big maker of software tools, the other the largest business-oriented social networking site, with more than 400 million members globally.

Personally I think this is a huge deal and great fit for Microsoft who is the big chief in the business services market. I also am glad to see LinkedIn hold on and keep it together long enough to cash out well. Over the last few years I've had my doubts that it could sustain it's lack of innovation, ridiculous amount of spam, and really cumbersome community tools.
I actually stopped even logging into my LinkedIn account. But if MS does something nice with it I'll definitely start using it again.
I think Microsoft, even though they have a knack for screwing things up sometimes, is the best company positioned to do something with it and fold it into their other business services.
What do you guys think?
