Business-oriented social networking service LinkedIn—which has always positioned itself is a way for professionals to network rather than engage in the more-frivolous activities on the likes of MySpace and FaceBook—is getting a new CEO…except that, really, it’s LinkedIn’s old CEO. According to the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) and other sources, Dan Nye will be leaving LinkedIn’s top post after less than two years, to be replaced by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman.
Hoffman served as LinkedIn’s CEO before Nye took over in early 2007.
