Layanan professional social network LinkedIn menutup feature Polls in Group mulai 15 Mei tahun ini, fitur jajak pendapat yang ada di Group ini disediakan oleh LinkedIn sejak Desember 2011.
At LinkedIn, we aim to provide a simple and efficient experience for our members. To do this, we're continuously evaluating how our current products and features are used, and seeking new ways to focus our resources on building the best products. This sometimes results in the retirement of certain features. LinkedIn Polls in Groups will be retired on May 15, 2014. You can continue to engage with fellow members by posting a question to get the group's response or sharing an update or participating in conversations directly on the LinkedIn homepage.
Saat ini buat mrnggantikan fitur Polls in Group tersebut bisa digunakan beberapa aplikasi Polls pihak ketiga, sebagai contoh "Wedgies". Silahkan bagi yang menjadi admin suatu Groups di LinkedIn untuk mulai menggunakan aplikasi Polls yang lain tersebut.
LinkedIn, salah satu layanan social network khusus business-oriented mengumumkan jumlah anggotanya yang sudah mencapai 300 juta anggota dan lebih dari setengahnya adalah member LinkedIn yang berasal dari luar Amerika Serikat.
Deep Nishar, salah satu Vice President LinkedIn mengumumkan milestone 300 juta LinkedIn ini di blog LinkedIn dan menurutnya LinkedIn akan memperluat layanan mobile untuk menjangkau 3,3 miliar angkatan kerja di seluruh dunia. Saat ini traffic LinkedIn setengahnya berasal dari perangkat mobile dibanding desktop, setiap hari rata-rata ada 15 juta profile views, 1.45 juta job views dan 44 ribu lamaran kerja dari 200 negara menggunakan perangkat mobile.
Saat ini LinkedIn sedang mengembangkan aplikasi mobile LinkedIn berbagai platform, sedangkan di awal tahun ini melakukan ekspansi ke China dengan merilis beta version LinkedIn new Simplified Chinese site untuk menjangkau 140 juta pekerja profesional di China.
We are excited to announce that we reached a big milestone today: there are now more than 300 million LinkedIn members in the world! More than half of these members come from outside of the U.S., while there are 100 million members in the U.S. While this is an exciting moment, we still have a long way to go to realize our vision of creating economic opportunity for every one of the 3.3 billion people in the global workforce.
To get there, we are delivering personalized experiences built around members and their identity, network and knowledge. We believe this focus will give us the ability to better help each of our members achieve their professional goals. This strategic shift has already come to life through our content products. To give our members access to all business knowledge they need to be great at what they do, we have brought together content from millions of publishers through Pulse, Influencer posts from approximately 500 of the leading minds in business, and most recently, our millions of members, as we continue to roll out our publishing platform and expand LinkedIn Groups and SlideShare.
We know mobile is critical. Later this year, we are going to hit our mobile moment, where mobile accounts for more than 50 percent of all global traffic. Already, our members in dozens of locations including Costa Rica, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, use LinkedIn more on their mobile devices than on their desktop computers. Every day we see an average of 15 million profile views, 1.45 million job views and 44,000 job applications in over 200 countries through mobile.
In anticipation of the mobile moment, two years ago, we started developing multiple LinkedIn mobile apps to fit the different needs of our diverse members. Each of these apps is customized and tailored to a member-specific use case. As we expand our mobile app portfolio, such as our new SlideShare app, we’re also focused on bringing on top-notch partnerships with companies likeApple, Nokia, Samsung and others. You’ll see more strategic pairings throughout the course of this year.
We already have a strong presence around the world and will continue to invest in building out the experiences we offer to our members in key countries. Earlier this year, we expanded our presence in China with the launch of a beta version of our new Simplified Chinese site. Our goal is to connect the more than 140 million Chinese professionals with each other and the global workforce.
Our global footprint gives us the necessary elements to build the world’s first Economic Graph. As we continue to grow, we’ll be able to keep improving this valuable map of the connections between people, companies, jobs, skills, educational institutions and professional knowledge in the global economy.
As we’ve grown the value we deliver to our members has increased, the way they use our products has changed and our membership has become more diverse. The below infographic gives you a visual picture of how our network of professionals has grown and evolved over the last five years.
Reaching 300 million members is a milestone on a journey, and we know we still have a long way to go. Source:LinkedIn Blog
On March 26, 2014, the professional network "LinkedIn" published revised versions of their Privacy Policy and our User Agreement. If you're want to continued use LinkedIn service means you agree to these revised documents. LinkedIn posted the announcement on their blog on March 14 but the new LinkedIn’s Terms of Service effective as of March 26, 2014.
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network with 250 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the globe. LinkedIn is publicly held and has a diversified business model with revenues coming from member subscriptions, advertising sales, and talent solutions.
Here are some other changes you’ll see in new LinkedIn's Terms of Service:
Updates to Our Privacy Policy
Member data. We’ve always had a high bar when it comes to responding to government requests for member data and that hasn’t changed. In Section 2.14, we clarify that we will take steps to let members know about demands for their data unless we’re legally prohibited from doing so or the request is deemed an emergency. We also specify that we may dispute such demands if we believe they are too broad, too vague, or lack proper authority.
Premium services. While it is not new that LinkedIn offers premium services that give our customers access to members’ profiles to generate career and business opportunities, we’ve rewritten Section 2.12 to clarify that our corporate offerings include Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions and Sales Solutions.
Mobile numbers. As LinkedIn expands our services globally, we recognize that the mobile phone has become a ubiquitous communications tool. We’ve updated Section 1.2 to include the forthcoming option to use your mobile number to sign in to LinkedIn.
Update to Our User Agreement
Content Availability. LinkedIn has always operated within the laws and frameworks of the countries in which we operate. We recently launched a LinkedIn site in Simplified Chinese, and as we said at the time of our launch, we may be required by local regulations to remove certain content, which means this content may not be available on LinkedIn in China. While LinkedIn has always reserved the right to remove content (e.g. when it’s hurtful or infringing on others’ rights), we believe it’s important to be transparent that sometimes laws may require us to remove certain content, and we make that clear in Section 4.1.
