Linkedin

Networking site and recruitment platform LinkedIn has announced a new way of verifying users' identities and employment roles that won’t cost them a penny.Unlike Twitter and Facebook, which both charge for the service, LinkedIn has devised a plan to offer verification marks free of charge in the hope that it may broaden the appeal of the platform in an era of cost-cutting and economic pressure.At launch, the Microsoft-owned platform will partner with CLEAR in the US only to verify a user’s government ID and phone number, in turn awarding them with a new ‘Verifications’ section underneath the ‘Connect’ and ‘Message’ buttons.LinkedIn verified accountsLinkedIn, along with other platforms like Twitter, has come under a lot of pressure in recent months after fake profiles have been causing headaches for users, often being used for spam purposes.CLEAR verification adds to the existing workplace email verification method available globally, though it’s worth noting that only 4,000 companies are supported and the existing service is of no use to freelancers and self-emploed workers.Additionally, a partnership with the Microsoft Entra Verified ID platform aims to give as many as two million LinkedIn users free digital workplace IDs.LinkedIn Vice President Oscar Rodriguez explained in a blog post

To combat the surge of fake LinkedIn accounts in recent years, Microsoft has introduced Entra Verified ID, a new feature that allows users to verify their workplace on the business-focused social media platform. Verified ID automates verification of identity credentials (Source: Microsoft) How to verify your workplace on LinkedIn With Entra Verified ID, organizations can create customized digital employee IDs that employees can use to prove their current employment with the firm. LinkedIn users can access the workplace verification option on their profile, retrieve their digital employee ID, and then share it on their LinkedIn profile. “Verified ID is built on open standards for decentralized identity, which operates on a ‘triangle of trust’ model involving three parties: an issuer, a holder, and a verifier. For instance, an organization can act as an issuer by cryptographically signing a digital credential and issuing it to an employee as a digital employee ID,” said Joy Chik, President, Identity & Network Access at Microsoft. “As the credential holder, the employee can decide to share their credential with apps and websites, such as LinkedIn. Then the verifier can cryptographically authenticate that the digital employee ID is genuine and was issued by the place of work

Microsoft is the company that owns LinkedIn since December 2016, although both companies operate independently. It is the Redmond-based firm that usually offers data on the use of the professional social network when it publishes its quarterly fiscal data. LinkedIn currently has 875 million users. However, it should be noted that, unlike other social networks, LinkedIn does not offer data on monthly active users -such as Facebook- or daily active users -such as Twitter or Snapchat- but rather its figure corresponds to the number of profiles created on the platform. , so the comparison with these other networks is impossible. some analysts estimated at 500 million active users per month the number of LinkedIn but it is not an official data. What we do know is the number of profiles created on LinkedIn, which currently exceeds 875 million worldwide. Of these, it is estimated that in Spain there are some 17 million profiles created, while in Latin America as a whole 78 million profiles have been created. Ranking of the 10 countries with the most LinkedIn users in the world According to data provided by Statista, these would be the 10 countries in the world with the most LinkedIn profiles

If you think that raising capital is the best way to get your business off the ground, you're wrong, according to Mark Cuban.You should actually do the complete opposite, the billionaire entrepreneur said during a panel at SXSW last month, and opt to start a business "with as little money as possible."Cuban, of course, has invested in hundreds of startups, including some on ABC's "Shark Tank." But those companies often already have momentum, and need external funding to achieve a specific goal."People get this mindset that, 'OK, I'm starting a business. Now, I've got to go raise money,'" Cuban said, adding: "Just remember raising money, whether it's from me, on 'Shark Tank' anywhere, that's an obligation. There's somebody who wants that money back."Instead, Cuban recommends using your own personal savings to get any business off the ground. That way, you're "controlling your own destiny," he said. "The more of your equity that you can retain and control, the more the upside."That's "where the big bucks are made," he added.Cuban started his first company, a computer systems company called MicroSolutions, on his own dime. He sold the startup to CompuServe for $6 million in 1990.Four years later, Cuban and his

Logo text Fox News and parent company Fox Corp. have settled a defamation suit brought by a Venezuelan businessman who alleged that a segment falsely vilified him of being involved in a scheme to rig the 2020 presidential election. “This matter has been resolved amicably by both sides. We have no further comment,” a Fox News spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter when asked for comment. “The parties are pleased to jointly inform the Court that they have reached a confidential agreement to resolve this matter,” attorneys wrote to the judge in the case Saturday. “The parties anticipate filing a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice early next week.” As it happens, Fox News has been in the headlines in recent months over a pair of defamation cases tied to the weeks after the 2020 election. One is from an voting systems company called Smartmatic, but it is the case from Dominion that has garnered most of the press, with internal text messages and emails shining a light on the inner working of Fox during the tumultuous few weeks after former President Donald Trump lost the election. The case that Fox settled may bear some superficial similarities, but it was really
