Wallstreet Journal had a story buried on the last page of the B section on LinkedIn’s expansion plans and the naming of Dan Nye, previously with Advent Software, as their new Chief Executive.

Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn co-founder, will give up his position as CEO, while staying as chairman and president of products.

This is a good sign for LinkedIn. It shows they are maturing, and Hoffman is showing the ability to step aside and let someone with more experience take a leadership role at the company.

I use LinkedIn a lot, and highly recomend it.
