LinkedIn hit 100 million members this week and co-founder Reid Hoffman did a proper solid by sending out a thank you email to the early adopters:

“I want to personally thank you because you were one of LinkedIn’s first million members (member number 43[****] in fact!). In any technology adoption lifecycle, there are the early adopters, those who help lead the way. That was you.”

It’s a nice gesture from a company that hasn’t thrown out what made it so successful like so many other techs have. Keep it up LinkedIn and continued good luck!

Being one of the first 440k users is kinda kewl too. 🙂

“We’ll never know our strength until it is tested; we can never increase that strength unless the tests become ever more stringent. Arrayed against all the potential pain, loss, and fatigue of the performance quest is but a single reward: the pride of accomplishment and the security of knowing that you have made something of yourself, that you have not squandered your time on earth.”
