Rumor: Rupert Murdoch wants to buy LinkedIn
Blog TechCrunch UK has published information about the possible upcoming acquisition of the most popular business social network LinkedIn (our analogue is MyKrug ) by News Corp. According to information from a “reliable” source, the transaction may be announced as early as January of next year.
Let me remind you that News Corp , owned by the most influential person in the world, Rupert Murdoch (Rupert Murdoch), already owns the social network MySpace . MySpace and LinkedIn have huge, but almost no intersection of the interests of the audience. Covering both of them with their own hands, News Corp. will receive an almost inexhaustible source of traffic for every taste to its entertainment and information portals. Not to mention that LinkedIn itself is a very profitable project: in 2006 its net profit was $ 10 million, and this year, according to analysts, this amount should be significantly larger.
