I'm saying that linkedin.com is in the business space he is talking about entering and he should examine it carefully before investing gobs of time and money - but that's off topic for this list. I'm responding just to clarify that, no, I have no reason to think linkedin is using Symfony.
Their URLs betray no information about the server-side technology used, but the Server: field in their HTTP response says: Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Coyote seems to be a Java-related Apache component, so it's reasonable to suspect LinkedIn is probably built on Java.
