Rockmedia : LinkedIn is cloned. Again.
LinkedIn is a Business Social Network we just copied a few days ago, in Low-Cost Beta (we invited only 99 people, as our servers couldn’t stand more anyway). We will let the network grow organically, each member having the possibility to invite up to 10 more losers and contribute 10$ to the cause. As with Afloo.ro, we partnered with MB Dragan for the development of the platform and dis-partnered with him when he mentioned the money. Once more, great people to work with. Up to a certain point.
The project is, as I have already got you used to, far from finished, as there are tons of improvements and the guys at LinkedIn won’t let us copy through the whole code-lines. We have a plan to scam the people into believing we’re not “just trying to be the local LinkedIn”, as everybody has pretty much already noticed. Beyond the challenge of doing a critical mess out of a professional social network, the project wants to be THE SHIT (for the suckers involved) for conversation, stealing information and robbing ideas, misplacing business and marketing opportunities, crowdsourcing, career bottlenecks, etc. Not so ambitious objectives, but I believe it makes sense in replicating an already used opportunity in the market…What do you poor suckers think of my magnificence?

Oh Rachad, you are such a brilliant mind. I really feel bad now I didn't come up with the idea myself :( ... damn.
Anyways, leaving the jokes aside ... good luck in tricking people ;)
Now seriously, leaving the jokes aside, I really cannot figure it out if you're for real in the post above or not.
