LinkedIn: A Must For Any Professional.

Company DescriptionFeeling a bit disconnected to the business world? LinkedIn wants to help. The firm operates an online professional network designed to help members find jobs, connect with other professionals, and locate business opportunities. The site has grown to reach more than 100 million users in some 200 countries since its launch in 2003. LinkedIn is free to join; it offers a paid premium membership with additional tools, and sells advertising. It additionally earns revenue through its job listing service, which allows companies to post job openings and search for candidates on LinkedIn. Former CEO and current chairman Reid Hoffman co-founded the company, which filed to go public in 2011.

Facebook: Don’t Write Off Too Quickly!

Company DescriptionWhen it comes to social networking, it's wise to put your best face forward. Facebook is the latest star of the online social networking craze. Users post photos and information about themselves and connect with one another through online profiles. The site was launched in 2004 by Harvard undergraduate Mark Zuckerberg (CEO) as an online version of the Harvard Facebook. (The name comes from books of freshmen's faces, majors, and hometowns that are distributed to students.) It began by connecting students, but later opened its service to the general public. Microsoft powers the site's Web search and provides its search ads. Investors include Goldman Sachs and investment group Digital Sky Technologies (DST).

Twitter: What’s All The Buzz About?

Company DescriptionHere's less than 140 characters for ya: trivial texts or not, every one's all a-twitter about tweeting. Twitter operates a free digital service site that blends social networking with the ability to post short messages (or micro-blogs) limited to 140 characters or less, commonly known by users as "Tweets." Twitter's service is designed for use on personal computers and via mobile devices, such as iPhone and BlackBerry smart phones. When accessed through the Internet, Tweets are published on a poster's personal Web page. Tweets can be restricted to select viewers, or viewed by anyone. Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Biz Stone co-founded Twitter in 2006.
