  1. do you mean that my profile value is just 2 bucks? 27,5million divided by 12million give approximately 2 dollars and some cents.

    My profile is not worth the price that they are asking!

    btw, it's just yesterday I blogged also this article, you may like it I believe- "Estimate your network value, and capitalize it over the next 10 years! (sponsored by Xing.com)".

    here you'll "calculate" how much your profile "worth" ;)
