#2Like the interview. He definitely comes off as generic. Somehow I wish one of us could of asked the questions, rather than Businessweek.

#3...thanks to his early investments in Facebook, Zynga, and LinkedIn—three of the most highly anticipated IPOs, with equally high valuations.
"Equally high valuations"? I don't think anyone expects them to have similar market caps.

I believe the sentence means that the valuations are high, similar to the anticipation level of the IPOs.

#5Facebook's the only one I'd consider at an IPO, though Zynga looks interesting. I am on LinkedIn, but really, who goes there when they're not simply updating their profile. I don't see the value in it as a social network.

You're probably just not the right market for it.
I know folks who obsess over LinkedIn, use it often, and use it profitably. This includes insurance brokers, real estate agents, and most of all, recruiters.
And, as a business, they've done a great job monetizing with premium features.
