Join us this BBC Friday for a discussion of what this BIG tech/business-networking corporate acquisition event means — for LinkedIn users, for Google users, for recreational drug users.
Special guest Rob Salkowitz, Contributing writer at Forbes, plans to join us on Skype to introduce the topic and field your questions (linkedin.com/in/robsalkowitz). Forbes article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robsalkowitz/2016/06/13/why-did-microsoft-buy-linkedin-ask-cortana/#68d656073546.
