Lurker Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I got an account there, ehehehe here is the news : Microsoft has acquired LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. The company plans to integrate the career-oriented social network into many of its apps and services, including Office, Skype and Cortana. You'd get the details of the person you're meeting for a business deal, for example, or get help from an expert when you're working on an Office 365 project. Microsoft is vowing to maintain LinkedIn's overall independence, including the role of CEO Jeff Weiner, and hopes to close the deal sometime in 2016. According to Microsoft's Satya Nadella, LinkedIn is a perfect fit. You need a "connected professional world" to get things done, he says, whether it's getting help with a spreadsheet or fleshing out details in a customer relations tool like Microsoft's Dynamics. And while Microsoft is purposefully keeping itself at arm's length, Nadella sees the potential for revenue through subscriptions and (like it or not) targeted ads. source : https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/13/microsoft-buys-linkedin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
