Great Service: LinkedIn reset passwords for accounts associated with the Gawker fiasco

dbreunig:

Just received an email from LinkedIn asking me to reset my password as my old one has been deactivated. Sure enough, my log-in for LinkedIn is the email associated with Gawker. Smart move: take advantage of the published passwords to squash false log-ins before they start.
