Can Facebook Inc (FB) Profit From Google Inc (GOOG)’s Disloyalty?

Page 2 of 2

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) , a company that, unlike Facebook, has actually seen its stock price go up since its IPO (indeed, it has doubled), has already bought itself a newsreader. In April, LinkedIn bought the Web and mobile newsreader service Pulse for $90 million.

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) said it bought Pulse to turn it into the “definitive professional publishing platform — where all professionals come to consume content and where publishers come to share their content.”

But the thing is, I want and need the least distracting, least cluttered place to do my work research. Anything that keeps asking me to view my Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) friends’ cat pictures, or, like LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD), constantly offers me jobs it thinks I might be interested in, just wouldn’t work for me.

Reader, I will miss you. Thanks a lot, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG).
