LinkedIn valuation $1 billion

LinkedIn, the professional networking site, said it has raised $53 million from investors that places the company's overall estimated valuation at more than $1 billion

An unemployed person came to see me yesterday and asked me for names and phone numbers. This person did not ask for email addresses, nor offered one. I was so struck by the "analog" nature of the whole job search.

I recently saw Jeff Zucker interview on Charlie Rose. Zucker said his children were "born digital." Charlie loved the phrase so much that Zucker gave Charlie permission to use the phrase.

I guess I'm somewhere between analog and digital.
