Eric Ly, former VP of Desktop Products at LinkedIn, talks about Social Networking and Entrepreneurship

LinkedIn, the leading business social networking site, has quietly become a force in industry with ~10 million users. Not a week goes by that I don't get an invite to connect or a question/request through it. For my next podcast interview, I was lucky enough to talk with Eric Ly, the former VP of Desktop Products at LinkedIn (you can check out his LinkedIn page).

Eric was kind enough to share his thoughts on why LinkedIn has been so successful, the lessons he learned from his experience there, the future of social networking and online identity, how he's looking to build the next great company/application and more.

Enjoy!
