]]> <![CDATA[LinkedIn CEO hints at IPO]]> There isn't an "original" social network amongst the new post-crash crop. Ryze, SixDegrees at least preceeded Friendster by a while, despite friendster's nailing the mass market.

(Six Degrees, BTW made the fuckedcompany book with an $189M exit..no shame there, either)

LinkedIn was launched pretty close to friendster, and is certainly not a friendster knockoff. Thise guys build something pretty vaulable over several years.

Jonathan certainly kicked ass with the first year of two with friendster, but LinkedIn was no slouch in growth or PR (I know, I competed with LinkedIn as a co-founder of Spoke back in the day).
