So apparently Rupert Murdoch is in talks to take over LinkedIn. When Murdoch put his Midas media touch on MySpace, we were irked, but he can have LinkedIn.

Every few weeks, a random person asks us to “connect” on LinkedIn. And what does this connection do for us? Do we get to see their relationship status? Pictures of them binge drinking? Learn about their favorite books? No. At best we discover what this person majored in in college.

So enjoy LinkedIn, Rupert, because a social networking site without incriminating photos is no friend of ours.
