People take this stuff much too seriously -- it's good to have a laugh about things every once in a while. And like all good satire, it was just almost believable. The last two paragraphs should have been a dead giveaway though. And I don't know about <i>all</i> the folks at LinkedIn, but at least one person at LinkedIn got a chuckle out of it. That third comment above is a pingback from <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/adamnash" rel="nofollow">Adam Nash</a>, Sr. Director of Product & Engineering at LinkedIn, who <a href="http://blog.adamnash.com/2008/04/01/linkedin-to-end-free-service/" rel="nofollow">on his blog</a> called this the "funniest April Fools Day joke so far."
