Change your team at your peril - the shocking 7.... and no it's not #BrazilvsGermany....

There has been two very different days for two of the big boys - and no - I am not talking Brazil vs Germany (or #BraGer as it is now known... ) but rather Linkedin and Twitter.

 However, the #worldcup2014 game was indeed amazing and has broke twitter records for tweets during a match....35 million!!

But this didn't save Twitter - or my shares in her - which took a tumble... by around 7%...

You see the "shocking 7" from the hooked up title... 

This title actually might be quite well suited as the reason for the drop in value might have been for the same reason that Brazil fell from grace too. i.e. changes in the squad! 

As reported by TechCrunch, following more executive changes, Twitter’s shares are down sharply, sliding nearly 8 percent in morning trading. The company, which saw its share price soar following its IPO to more than $70 per share, is back under the $40 mark.

The slide comes on the heels of news that the social company has made Katie Jacobs Stanton its new global media boss, and made Gabriel Stricker its new chief communications officer. Twitter has a history of management changes. Investors could be skittish at the latest shifts.

On the other hand Linkedin - seems to be doing rather well. A little like Germany - a bit boring, defensive but normally a winner.

Joff Redfern, as reported in VentureBeat, Linkedin’s veep of mobile strategy, offered these fascinating tidbits yesterday morning as Twitter's shares dropped at the MobileBeat Event.

According to Redfern:

1. LinkedIn is adding two new members every second of every day. Its user base is now stands at 300 million plus.
2. In 2009, only 8 percent of users were logging in with mobile devices.
3. So far this year, mobile users now account for 43 percent of traffic.
4. By the end of 2014, in about 5 months, the number of mobile users will surpass 50 percent.
5. Last year, LinkedIn “mobilized.”
6. When Joff started at Linkedin in 2009, they employed just eight engineers focusing on mobile. 
7. LinkedIn now employs 5,000.
8. LinkedIn now offers six different mobile apps.
9. 1.5 million users look for jobs on the site every day through mobile devices. 
10. LinkedIn is now vigorously pursuing a “multi-app” strategy.

LinkedIn started as a professional networking site. They are now quickly moving to become an indispensable job search destination - especially on mobile. According to VentureBeat - "This will likely translate to increased revenues. And at this point, for LinkedIn, its all roses."

But it is? According to Insider Selling, CEO of Linkedin Jeff Weiner sold 37,206 shares of the company’s stock on the open market in a transaction dated Thursday, July 3rd. The stock was sold at an average price of $175.02, for a total value of $6,511,794.12. Maybe more people are leaving?

Worried? Look what happened to Brazil! 

Never change your team too much - unless you can help it !

Actually now I am worried - I'd best go have a look at them there Linkedin shares too. 

OUCH - looks like you should never even think about the coach leaving either....
