2007's Top 3 LinkedIn Events
Since we started the blog on April 24th of last year, we've had many LinkedIn events that we've covered on the blog. Here's a quick recap of a few of those milestones you may have either attended or heard about last year.
1. Moving into our new digs - again!
Since we moved into our Mountain View office almost half a year ago, we realized one floor wouldn't suffice for our engineers, product and design folk; so we have recently expanded into the first floor of the building we currently occupy. Some of you may have read a blog post by Adam Nash describing the move.

2. Lunch 2.0 at LinkedIn
This was the event that started it all. We decided to throw open the doors of our new digs as soon as we moved from our Palo Alto office to our current office space in Mountain View, by hosting Silicon Valley's favorite lunch past time - Lunch 2.0. It was the re-launch of Lunch 2.0 for the summer series 2007. And, boy what a turnout we had!

3. LinkedIn Q&A Live!
One of the first LinkedIn Q&A events we planned was around the concept of a book preview we hosted featuring questions from LinkedIn users. The evening saw the pairing of the ever-funny Dan Lyons a.k.a Fake Steve Jobs a.k.a FSJ (Sr. editor at Forbes, author of "Option$") with the ever-entertaining Guy Kawasaki (Former Apple evangelist and founder of Truemors).

It made for a truly exceptional evening with insight into the genesis of the Fake Steve Jobs blog, how Brad Stone (New York Times) outed the FSJ blog, FSJ playing the real Steve Jobs, the phenomenon of Fake CEO blogs, and tech industry insider jokes galore.
And, don't get me started on the Webbys coverage, our user-generated acceptance speech, In the Black party, LinkedIn Cube Chic... I could go on...
