Well Linked In just got their valuation slapped by a few firms due to their recent earnings. That might have caused herd selling.

I've got more work queued than I know what to do with, almost 200 percent over projection. Shit, I'm even winning RFP's (something I've always laughed off).

I always thought the value on linkedin was... optimistic.
As to the rest, we are probably due for another cycle of buyouts and bankruptcies in the start up space. meh. It's a lot of money, but it's impact on most of the IT world is modest at best. |

Outsourcing IT to third world countries is becoming popular. My former employer is shedding thousands of jobs, especially in its IT departments. Glad I bailed when I did. Americans are being replaced with Indians in Bangalore.
When I was still working there, those Indians couldn't code their way oit of a paper bag. No critical thinking skills either. I'll be munching on my popcorn as their infrastructure fails. Iremember the last SAP implementations those monkeys did. Took down on of our AP warehouses for weeks. Paralyzed operations to the point that we had hundreds of warehouse works staring at each other and sweeping the floors. |

One or two are awesome and an asset to have. They're the ones who show up in the early meetings to make the good impressions, or the ones who (try to) unfuck the problems caused by the rest. |
