Six months ago, I interviewed Linkedin CEO Founder Reid Hoffman at the first Graphing Social Patterns conference where he keynoted. I'll be in the Bay Area next week and I'd very much like to swing by Linkedin's offices -- or wherever he's at -- and interview him again.

OK, it is, but not primarily.
Over the weekend Scoble wrote another post explaining why the 5,000 friends limit is ridiculous, and I happen to agree with him. More relevantly, he also says:
