Source: LinkedIn. A LinkedIn post is going gangbusters, as entrepreneurs, marketing experts and designers debate the design of one “genius” business card. On Thursday, Aussie writer and founder of media agency Hustlr, Daniel Abrahams, shared an image of a business card, praising its “genius design”. The business card features the email address of Maggie High, the owner of San Francisco-based baby bib retailer Singing Bear. The email address is annotated, highlighting the ‘@singingbearshop’ part as the brand’s Instagram handle, the ‘singingbearshop.com’ part as the website. The ‘Maggie’ part is labelled, simply, ‘me’. At the time of writing, Abrahams’ post has more than 126,000 reactions and 2,350 comments. Many commenters echo his thoughts, calling the business card’s design “so clean”, “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and stating “simplicity always wins”. One marketing graphic designer called it “the most brilliantly simplistic marketing piece I’ve seen in a while”. However, this is the internet. And, of course, not everyone was quite so full of praise. Some noted that information that is typically included on a business card is missing here — a surname, a phone number, or any indication of what the business does, for example. This only leads to more questions. Most pressingly: is there…

Joby Aviation’s prototype craft flying in a promotional video.Screenshot: Joby Aviation (Fair Use)Time and time again, tech companies have promised a future where commuters will be able to zip around in the flying cars from The Jetsons. And time and time again, that just hasn’t happened.That’s because the practical engineering challenges are immense—building small, electrically powered vertical take-off and landing, or VTOL, aircraft would require a massive leap in technology over helicopters. It’s also because many of the business models proposed so far, such as Uber’s now-former “aerial ridesharing” unit Uber Elevate, have been patently ridiculous concepts amounting to not much more than speculative futurism. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is nonetheless taking a big bet that the era of the flying taxi is coming in the foreseeable future, according to Axios.According to Axios, Hoffman and Zynga founder Mark Pincus’s special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Reinvent Technology Partners reached a deal on Wednesday to buy Joby Aviation, the company that bought up Uber Elevate, in a deal that values the firm at $6.6 billion. (An SPAC is a corporate entity with no commercial operations formed for the specific purpose of acquiring private firms.)Uber is an investor in Joby, and the company already has…

Indian professionals are confident about career progress despite growing uncertainties about the job market and financial future in the current environment, says the latest LinkedIn Workforce Confidence Index. Based on the survey responses of 1,752 professionals, findings from January 1-29 reveal that 80% professionals are confident about skilling opportunities, while 79% are confident about the strength of their CVs. However, the latest edition of the Workforce Confidence Index shows a dip in India’s overall confidence, as the composite score dropped from +58 in December 2020 to +54 in January 2021. The survey attributes this dip in optimism to the workforce’s growing concerns about the status of the pandemic, mounting expenses, and job availability in the present economic climate. This professional uncertainty comes right after the year-end holiday season, when India’s hiring rate dropped to 17% year-over-year in December 2020. "Skills are expected to become the new professional 'currency' this year as workers from different generations rely on learning new skills to future-proof their careers, at a time when industries continue to strengthen their remote operations. Employees from traditional sectors such as Corporate Services, Healthcare, and Software & IT industries are found to be most confident about the future of their…

LinkedIn, the professional social network Microsoft purchased back in 2016 is reportedly getting ready to enter the market of freelancer platforms currently dominated by Upwork and Fiverr. According to a new report from The Information, LinkedIn’s new platform will be named Marketplaces and could launch as soon as September. LinkedIn is the largest professional social network with over 740 million members in more than 200 countries, with more than 260 million monthly active users. It makes sense for Microsoft to help LinkedIn members get in touch with freelancers, especially at a moment when the gig economy is on the rise due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Suzi Owens, a LinkedIn spokesperson told The Information that the platform saw an increase in people searching for LinkedIn members with “open for business” in their profiles. In the future we’ll be building new ways to share more about the services you offer directly through your LinkedIn profile,” Owens said. According to the report, LinkedIn has been working on its new Marketplaces platform since fall 2019, and it could replace LinkedIn’s existing Profinder Feature. The new platform should bring more revenue to LinkedIn by taking a cut on transactions, similar to how Upwork…

After a whistleblower complained that Coca-Cola was asking its employees to engage in diversity training offered by LinkedIn Education that encouraged them to "try to be less white," the social media firm has removed the program."The Confronting Racism course featuring Robin DiAngelo is no longer available in our course library, at the request of the 3rd party content provider we licensed this content from," LinkedIn vice president of corporate communications Nicole Leverich told Newsweek in an email on Monday."We provide a wide variety of learning content, including more than 270 courses on the topics of diversity, inclusion and belonging," Leverich said. "We will continue to add new courses to help people learn the skills they need to be more successful in their career, including the foundational skills we all need to be effective allies and help build a more equitable future."Coca-Cola has been criticized on social media since Friday when Karlyn Borysenko, who is an organizational psychologist and YouTube commentator, tweeted screenshots of the LinkedIn course.Borysenko received the tip from whistleblowers at Coca-Cola who said employees were "required" to take the online course, though other companies were similarly asking their staff to engage in the course, as well."The real story…
