Quite a celebration: just the day after their $53M investment round, valuing the company at $1B (that’s Billion with a B) was announced, LinkedIn is down:
Is there a new emerging trend here? PR blitz, big announcement, site is dead. Other examples just this week:
Firefox Download Day leads to dead site.
Technorati Monster shows to celebrate investment + new ad network. ( But hey, new Sales Team here to help, instead of technologists)
Then there was twitter .. then .. then ….

Can’t help but laugh at your last line there… 😀
I noticed it last week that LinkedIn was down.
I was wondering what was the cause and I found this post on their blog:

It seems they migrate the whole thing to OSGi, and they wrote it can cause problems.
I wonder if they:
a) did not finish migration yet
b) ran into some problems with the new solution
I just hope they keep it up most of the time, as I need it 🙂
