As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) site LinkedIn went public in May under the symbol LNKD.

Microsoft buys Skype

Skype logoMicrosoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (go maith, not just the product, the whole company) for $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.
