A few months ago, Mike Gamson, senior vp of sales for LinkedIn, told Adweek that this is a crucial time for brands in online advertising. "We believe there is a finite number of brands that any single LinkedIn member will follow," Gamson said at the time. (He estimated that the number is in the low single digits, or a couple of brands per category.) For that reason, he said that brands that don't invest in attracting followers now will find it more difficult to do so down the road because the brands will have to lure them away from rival companies.

Mike Gamson, SVP of sales for LinkedIn, said now that the company has achieved brand-friendly scale (with a membership of 120 million professionals globally), it plans to make a major push with advertising. And, he added, the next step in engaging customers on LinkedIn will involve the "Follow Company" feature it launched last year. "We believe there's an incredibly important moment right now in the world of online advertising," he said. "Right now is the moment of acquisition of a follower base." For the next year to year and a half, brands around the world will be investing in their follower and fan base "assets," he said. Those that don't join the fray now will find themselves at a disadvantage later on. "We believe there is a finite number of brands that any single LinkedIn member will follow," Gamson said, adding that he estimates that the number is in the low single digits, or a couple of brands per category. (The company is conducting research to get at an accurate number.) Attracting followers now, while the feature is still relatively new, will cost much less than courting them down the road, when brands might have to lure them away from rival companies they've already decided to follow. While Twitter and Facebook both offer advertisers similar (and arguably better known) follower features, Gamson said the big difference with LinkedIn is the audience. With a global membership of well-educated, more affluent professionals, and a business-first context, he said, LinkedIn is a better place for companies to reach consumers with messages around financial services, business travel, and other similar topics. "Facebook or Twitter, [that's] a very, very broad segment of the population," he said. But for companies trying to reach consumers about IRA rollovers, business class airline tickets, or small business credit cards, "the perfect lead for those marketers is on Linkedin." The company, which made its public debut in May, has been consistently trading well above its first day offering price. But some analysts have expressed concerns that engagement on LinkedIn (measured by time on site) has been lower relative to other social networks. Gamson said that since the company's mission is to drive productivity (and success) for professionals, it thinks about time spent on site differently. Helping members accomplish more is the first goal, spending time on site is a byproduct of that, he said. In recent months, the company has rolled out features, such as LinkedIn Today and LinkedIn Groups, which boost engagement by highlighting content or member activity. Gamson said the company would share more details about its new advertising developments-involving the follower feature and other efforts-next week.

Next up is a fight over whether Dipchand Nishar of Google will be deposed for two hours versus four hours. Oracle America, Inc. ("Oracle") requests reconsideration of the Court's July 21, 2011order denying Oracle's request for permission to depose Mr. Dipchand Nishar for up to fourhours. For the reasons set forth below, reconsideration is warranted under Local Rule 7.9 andthe deposition of Mr. Nishar should proceed immediately. Counsel for Oracle and Googleconferred on August 4 and 5, and Google has indicated that it is willing to agree to have Mr.Nishar deposed, but Oracle and Google have been unable to reach any agreement on theappropriate amount of time for that deposition, and therefore seek relief from the Court. Oracle Statement On July 28, 2011, Google's counsel submitted a letter to the Court acknowledging that hehad misrepresented the nature of Mr. Nishar's responsibilities during the July 21 hearing onOracle's request for permission to depose Mr. Nishar and three others. Counsel wrote: "I amwriting to correct a portion of my statement so the record is clear. Prior to becoming the seniordirector for products in the Asia/Pacific region, Mr. Nishar was in charge of Google's non-Android mobile business, roughly in the period from 2005-2007. However, he had noresponsibility for Android itself, and played only a minor role in the negotiations betweenGoogle and Sun over Android. (Docket No. 242.) Google counsel's July 28 letter corrects one earlier misrepresentation to the Court, butrepeats another. Further review of documents produced by Google - including hundreds ofemails sent or received by Mr. Nishar that were not produced by Google until after the July 21hearing - makes clear that, contrary to counsel's renewed representation, Mr. Nishar played more than a "minor role in the negotiations between Google and Sun over Android. 1 We have marked with an asterisk all documents that Google produced on or after July 21, thedate of the hearing on Oracle's request for permission to depose Mr. Nishar and three others. e did not specifically identify the other documents discussed in this letter in our previous lettergiven the limited space in which to cover requests for the depositions of four differentemployees. Those documents are relevant here in light of counsel's representation that Mr.Nishar only played a "minor" role in the negotiations between Sun and Google, which is contraryto the evidence. Mr. Nishar also authored and sent a number of strategy documents that confirm theimportance of Android to Google. [REDACTED] Since the hearing on July 21, Oracle has received more than 700,000 additionaldocuments from Google, including hundreds of documents referring to Mr. Nishar and whichconfirm his involvement in some of the key issues in this case, including the negotiations thattook place between Sun and Google and the formulation of Google's strategy for Android and itsmobile business.2 Reconsideration is warranted under Local Rule 7.9 based on (1) Googlecounsel's correction of his prior misstatement to the Court; (2) Google counsel's continuedmischaracterization of Mr. Nishar's role; and (3) the newly-produced documents. The parties were unable to reach an agreement on this issue, and the one remainingissue in dispute is therefore the length of Mr. Nishar's deposition. Google no longer opposesOracle's request to depose Mr. Nishar - the only dispute is whether that deposition should go fortwo hours (Google's request) or four hours (Oracle's request). Seeking to limit the deposition to two hours, Google's counsel again tries to minimizeMr. Nishar's relevance, arguing that he was only "periodically kept [ ] informed" by hissuperiors, and that any of Mr. Nishar's knowledge "dates from the middle of last decade. Thefirst assertion is clearly undercut by the documentary evidence, including the documentsdescribed above. The second assertion is exactly the point: Mr. Nishar's testimony relates to thenegotiations between Sun and Google that took place in 2005 and 2006, which Judge Alsup hasspecifically held are of core significance both with respect to the issue of Google's willfulinfringement and the calculation of damages. There are a substantial number of documents, andOracle wants to ensure that it has sufficient time to cover them with Mr. Nishar. Oracle respectfully requests that the Court reconsider its prior decision and permit Oracleto depose Mr. Nishar about these documents and the subjects to which they relate for up to fourhours. Google's continuedmisrepresentations regarding Mr. Nishar's role should not be permitted to prevent discovery ofrelevant evidence from him. Google Statement Google hasn't "misrepresented" any fact about Dipchand Nishar or his involvement inGoogle's negotiations regarding Sun. Mr. Nishar had no involvement in any technical issueregarding Android and was not responsible for negotiating with Sun regarding a potentialbusiness partnership respecting Android. The fact that Mr. Nishar was copied on emails concerning internal Google strategy innegotiating with Sun does not suggest that he had any significant role in either the negotiationsthemselves or Google's internal strategy sessions regarding those negotiations. Nothing in anyof the documents Oracle cites suggests, much less proves, that Mr. Nishar was a decisionmakerwith respect to any aspect of the Sun-Google negotiations. Most of them show nothing morethan that his superiors at Google periodically kept him informed of the status of negotiations. ven viewed most favorably to Oracle, the documents show only that Mr. Nishar occasionallyoffered his opinions regarding discrete issues regarding Android. None of this reveals any morethan a minor role for Mr. Nishar in these negotiations. Further, Oracle's attempt to make something of the fact that Google produced documentsrelevant to Mr. Nishar after the July 21, 2011 hearing is groundless bomb- throwing. This is amassive case where both sides have produced millions of pages of documents. The deadline fordocument production was July 29, 2011-eight days after the discovery hearing-and bothparties produced many thousands of pages, relating to all the key witnesses in this case, in thedays immediately preceding the cutoff. Oracle's suggestion that Google withheld Mr. Nishar'sdocuments until after the July 21, 2011 hearing is baseless-just like its repeated use of the word"misrepresent" to describe Google's accurate description of Mr. Nishar's minimal role innegotiations with Sun. That said, Google offered to resolve this dispute by agreeing that Oracle may depose Mr.Nishar for two hours on the two topics relevant to Oracle's request: (1) Google's mobilestrategy; and (2) Google's discussions with Sun. If the Court is inclined to order a deposition of Mr. Nishar,Google would not oppose a two-hour deposition on the specified topics.

Thanks to Steve we have another transcript [PDF], this one of the July 21 hearing pertaining to the July 14 joint letter from the parties regarding additional depositions. (215 [PDF; Text]) This hearing was before the magistrate trying to sort out whether Oracle would be allowed to depose additional Google employees, specifically Larry Page, Dipchand Nishar, Bob Lee, and Tim Lindholm (of the now famous Lindholm emails).

So kudos go to whomever at Netflix - ingoing or outgoing - wrote Friday's announcement that Chief Marketing Officer and 12-year company veteran Leslie Kilgore would be stepping down from day-to-day operations. It's written to make the shift sound like a promotion. Kilgore is actually taking a position on Netflix's board, but as a non-executive director: i.e., an external director who isn't employed by the company. She's already been removed from Netflix's Management web page, but has yet to be added to the Board of Directors site. (Kilgore also serves on LinkedIn's board; before joining Netflix, she was director of marketing at Amazon. She's a pretty big fish.)
