That's how I got on there 
I've only been using it a week or two - it seems okay, a bit different to LinkedIn but there seems to be quite a few people making the move (at least who I'm connected with).
To be honest, I never spent a lot of time on LinkedIn and ended up disabling email notifications from it because of the endless messages from recruiters.. Hopefully branded.me will handle that kind of thing differently.
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

That's a bigger waste of money than buying Nokia. Linkedin is pointless. MSFT is already down 4% premarket. TG I no longer any shares.

I must confess, I don't get it.

Cramer likes it and says it's better than the Nokia deal. I'm a bit skeptical about that, as well as Cramer! We shall see.

Not according to some HR-departments.
I'm glad MS acquired it, I hope it goes to rest with Clippy, VB6 and IE4

LinkedIn has never been all that attractive. Now it's through for sure. Like everything Microsoft touches, it will become crap(ier).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Hard to see how that's possible, which will make it very entertaining.

This about to start layoff like Nokia. This what Satya is known for.

We may be moving into an era when everyone can make computer programs, even though they don’t know how to code — at least not in the way we think about coding today. Job security for those that know how?

More humans coding - not a problem.
AI's coding? Then it gets interesting (or scary)

Just told a young developer the other day about how this idea emerges every few years and then quietly goes away.

Yeah, I remember how 4GLs were going to put us all out of business. And visual programming tools. And VB/VBA. Probably a few more that I've forgotten.

I had the same thought when I saw the headline, but I couldn't resist a look at the thread. To get an idea where this is headed, ask Siri, or Google Now a complicated question.

Answering a query is miles away from conceptualizing a solution and implementing it.
Eliza already showed how simple rules can give the perception of complexity. An advanced Eliza is not going to write code. It is not even going to understand the problem

I think the results we may see may be a lot like the random-generated movie script mentioned in the news item here today. I really enjoyed the movie, by the way.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

According to Cisco’s recently released annual Visual Networking Index (VNI) Complete Forecast for 2015 to 2020, global IP traffic will almost triple at a compound annual growth rate of 22 percent over the course of the next five years. Does this mean I should upgrade my 56K modem?

A pair of researchers with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram has found that stripes on lizards cause predators to see them as moving slower than they actually are, causing attackers to miss their targets. There you go: stripes make you go faster (or at least look like it)

Inscriptions on Antikythera Mechanism suggests it was mechanical computer used to track sun, moon "It's not 'Door to Heaven', it's... 'Stargate'"
OK, that's what most reasonable people thought it was all this time, but here's a little confirmation.

And it's smartphones, not PCs that make up the bulk of that 8 billion devices. Is it getting a little crowded in here?
