This article seems more like PR on behalf of Doostang than it is an analysis of the business models of Doostang or LinkedIn. The HN community seems to occasionally discuss LinkedIn, but I have yet to read any analysis/ discussion on Doostang. Does anyone out there use Doostang or know anything about their business model?
I was invited to join about 9 months ago, but soon found the site to be not quite as elite as they professed due to the fact that I was expected to spam my friends with Doostang invites in order to gain access to other parts of the site. This was quite annoying and I quickly dismissed Doostang as illegitimate. Thoughts on the Doostang model?
