LinkedIn:
LinkedIn is a social media networking site that helps people maintain their professional identity and relationships online. The site's users create profiles that include professional, educational experience, accolades. LinkedIn is designed to help users network with colleagues and peers, search for jobs, and share professional updates. The service includes a messaging platform, a publishing tool, and ways to provide personal endorsements to contacts. Recruiters use the service to post job opportunities and search for candidates. High-profile companies, including Facebook, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and IBM, maintain an active presence on LinkedIn. Business leaders like Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Sallie Krawcheck have used LinkedIn to share leadership insights. In 2016, the company said it had been hacked by people who stole 117 million passwords. In 2017, the company reported nearly a half-billion users worldwide. LinkedIn was co-founded by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman in 2003. Microsoft purchased the company in 2016 for $26.2 billion.
