I have applied for and accepted, as well as been recruited for and accepted, jobs which I found through LinkedIn.
That being said, the constant tidal wave of messages and requests to connect from headhunters when I am not in the job market is the reason why I never sign in to LinkedIn unless I am in the job market.
While many financial analysts will be inspecting the details more closely, a lot of onlookers simply want to know... why? Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has sent an internal memo to staff about the LinkedIn acquisition, and it attempts to answer why the company is interested in the social networking giant.
Nadella hints that LinkedIn will help play into its Office software in the future. One feature will be LinkedIn's newsfeed "that serves up articles based on the project you are working on and Office suggesting an expert to connect with via LinkedIn to help with a task you're trying to complete." Nadella sees a future where LinkedIn can be more intelligent and feed into Office 365. "New opportunities will be created for monetization through individual and organization subscriptions and targeted advertising," says Nadella.
If you want to get into the "You are the product" social networking business of selling people's data or mining it for your own marketing purposes, then MSFT buying out LinkedIn makes perfect sense.
They've also completely failed at mobile, and this may represent a way for them to still tap the data that lives mobile.
TFA mentions that Wendy's already pays well above the minimum wage to "access the best labor". That goes for CEOs too.
As an investor, you don't want your company being run by a bargain basement CEO. Competent executives for multinationals are not found on every streetcorner, and you have to pay the market rate for them.
If you think a good CEO is expensive, wait until you see what a bad one costs you.
I don't understand why people believe they are entitled to someone else's property in whatever way they choose at whatever price they feel they want to pay. Does any other business work this way? Does any other part of life work this way? Do you treat your own property this way?
Just about every media organization is pushing a viewpoint. I've no doubt that Facebook will do whatever it can to shape public opinion until it crosses the boundary of being good for business.
Yeah, to me the word in common parlance just means something that's shoddy or low-quality. There have been all kinds of ghettos in history, some identified with a single race or ethnic group and some not. I know in our hyper-offense-sensitive culture people love to throw a fit when they think it will get them something, but this ad just falls under the 'stupid' category. (as with many or most of Sprint's ads)
I don't see why anyone would think this lawless regime that interprets and re-interprets laws in whatever way is expedient at the moment would have any other attitude towards the classification system. They do what they want, when they want, and the same things they howled about during the previous administration they are excusing now.
By the time anyone had figured out the information was low quality, the scammers had cashed the checks and their tent was folded up and on the way to the next scheme.
I'm sorry for what happened to these Kansans, but three cheers for a lesson to businesses that would buy personal information from a trafficker getting a steaming pile worthless info instead.

Really, there's no need for intelligent users to pay even $1, when there are more than enough idiots clicking ads to make the whole thing free.
Same reason they don't charge admission to a casino.
Don't worry, Zuckerberg will be putting banner ads on your lawn soon.
I'm convinced that most or all of the clicks that popups claim are accidental, when people are trying to hit the close button.
Well, if it's an android device you simply don't expect updates beyond a year or two.

I buy all mine from the banner ads I see on Slashdot.
By the way, do you know how acidic your body is?

My taxes pay for all sorts of law enforcement. Does that mean I am exempt from said laws?
That's a good analogy if watching Flaked is an inalienable right.

Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but they give free money to just about every country in the world, including the most unsavory ones.
And what are these "fake books"? Are they just jumbles of random text? Isn't Amazon vetting books to determine their legitimacy?

It would be true if he had said "malaria"

Don't worry, it will auto-upgrade itself to what MSFT considers a "more functional" version somewhere down the line.
