Also just B2B sales in general. Anything that makes getting in touch with decision makers easier is basically a money faucet.

And isn't Linkedin the only network who got people to pay subscriptions? That's extremely interesting for MS.

On demographics alone, though, the deal doesn't seem to make sense.

Recruiting on LinkedIn is huge. Very, very, very big. This is really a not dumb deal by Microsoft, believe me. I don't know but I've heard from hundreds of people who've told me this is a huge move. It will be amazing.
