LinkedIn is probably the most successful social network other than Facebook.
They've carefully positioned themselves as the network for professionals.

Last week I
blogged
about a white paper Verisign sent ICANN called
New gTLD Security and Stability Considerations
in which they listed a bunch of reasons that ICANN isn't
ready to roll out lots of new TLDs.
Among the reasons were that several of the services
the new GTLDs are required to use aren't available yet,
including the Emergency Back End Registry Operators (EBEROs),
who would take over the registry functions for a TLD whose
operator failed.
They were supposed to have been chosen in mid-2012.
By complete coincidence, yesterday
ICANN announced
that they had chosen the three Emergency Back End Registry Operators.
I can't wait to see what happens next week.

elegible to block, legal processes can be slow and
cumbersome," said a spokeswoman.
"Since the Internet is global and traffic often
traverses multiple countries, the array of different
laws cause uncertainty."
