Localizing LinkedIn’s Model For China: Ushi.com’s Dominic Penaloza

I had a chance last week to hear Ushi.com co-founder and CEO Dominic Penaloza speak at the “Silicon Dragon” conference in Shanghai, where he talked about the process of trying to build up a “LinkedIn” in China that would focus on business professionals. (See related article here.)  I followed up and exchanged with him today about some of the finer points of his career and his goals.  Excerpts follow.
Q. What gave you the idea to set up Ushi and come to China?
