LinkedIn launches today!

May 7, 2003

Joi Ito notes that earlier today, Reid Hoffman, former EVP of Paypal, co-investor in Six Apart, and generally smart guy has launched LinkedIn after he and his team have been working in stealth mode for some time.

There have been a bunch of networking sites launching these days like Ryze and Friendster.  LinkedIn is more focused on business networking and has a bunch of innovations to make it more useful for connecting when you are trying to network seriously (vs dating sites).
