Comments on: Should LinkedIn buy Twellow? http://www.altsearchengines.com/2008/10/02/should-linkedin-buy-twellow/ The most wonderful search engines you've never seen!

I feel if anything it would be better the other way round (although I doubt Twellow has the funds, but who knows). LinkedIn started out with wonderful plans to help businesses connect with each other and expand their brand, but it's failed miserably at that. Instead, as you say, it's more just a glorified address book (although it even fails on this with businesses lacking updates even though you know there's been changes). LinkedIn has also failed spectacularly at adapting to Web 2.0 and social media trends, and in this day and age that's a huge no-no for any business site that wishes to be taken seriously. Great post with interesting views, Keren.
