Link farms
On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. In graph theoretic terms, a link farm is a clique. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a web search engine (sometimes called spamdexing). Other link exchange systems are designed to allow individual websites to selectively exchange links with other relevant websites and are not considered a form of spamdexing. Search engines require ways to confirm page relevancy. A known method is to examine for one-way links coming directly from relevant websites. The process of building links should not be confused with being listed on link farms, as the latter requires reciprocal return links, which often renders the overall backlink advantage useless. This is due to oscillation, causing confusion over which is the vendor site and which is the promoting site.

BSNL Rs. 699 Broadband Plan Offers 700GB Data per Month at 20Mbps Speed to Take on Jio GigaFiber
BSNL has reportedly revised its Rs. 699 broadband plan It offers 700GB of data at a speed of 20Mbps The plan is only available in Chennai Just days after Reliance Jio started taking registrations for the highly anticipated Jio GigaFiber broadband service, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is further revamping its own plans to give some competition to Jio. BSNL has reportedly revised its affordable broadband plan that provides its users access to an FUP limit of 700GB per month at a speed of 20Mbps for a tariff of Rs. 699. Available in Chennai, this revamped BSNL broadband plan - named BBG Combo ULD 699 - comes with a post-FUP speed of 2Mbps. Jio GigaFiber registrations are now open but the service is yet to receive a public rollout in India. But ahead of the rollout, rivals like BSNL are getting ready to take on the competition. In the latest revision to the BSNL plan, the telco has upgraded both the download speeds as well as the FUP limit, TelecomTalk reports. Previously, the Rs. 699 plan offered broadband with speeds of up to 10 Mbps and a FUP of 100 GB of data. Following the revision, the speed has reportedly been doubled to 20Mbps and the FUP limit has soared up to 700GB of data. However, as mentioned, the Rs. 699 broadband plan from BSNL is currently available only in one city - Chennai. We will have to wait to see if BSNL decides to roll out the plan pan-India. Similar to most other broadband plans from the company, the Rs. 699 offer is also said to come bundled with a fixed telephone line (landline service). The telco is reportedly also offering unlimited voice calls to any network within India with the Rs. 699 plan. As Reliance Jio GigaFiber rollout looms, Bharti Airtel has already started expanding its truly unlimited broadband data offerings in more cities. Meanwhile, DTH service provider Tata Sky has also launched its own broadband service. Last month, even BSNL had revised its premium FTTH broadband plans including the ones priced at Rs. 3,999, Rs. 5,999, Rs. 9,999, and Rs. 16,999. These plans now offer up to 3TB of FUP data and up to 100Mbps of FUP speeds during their monthly validity. Speed will drop to 4Mbps after the data limit is hit by BSNL subscribers. Earlier this month, BSNL had also unveiled a new broadband plan that gives its users access to an FUP limit of 200GB at a speed of 20Mbps for a tariff of Rs. 995. To recall, it has been reported that the company is planning to launch a Jio GigaFiber Preview Offer, under which subscribers will receive 100GB of free data at a speed of up to 100 Mbps for first three months. The subscribers will have to pay a sum of Rs. 4,500 upfront to avail the service. Since it will be a preview offer, the data benefits for the first three months could be provided at no additional cost, and may become chargeable later. Report news source: NDTV gadget 360°

What's Flickr
Flickr is an image hosting service and video hosting service. It was created by Ludicorp in 2004. It has changed ownership several times and has been owned by SmugMug since April 2018. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs and an online community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media. The Verge reported in March 2013 that Flickr had a total of 87 million registered members and more than 3.5 million new images uploaded daily. In August 2011 the site reported that it was hosting more than 6 billion images and this number continues to grow steadily, according to reporting sources. Photos and videos can be accessed from Flickr without the need to register an account, but an account must be made to upload content to the site. Registering an account also allows users to create a profile page containing photos and videos that the user has uploaded and also grants the ability to add another Flickr user as a contact. For mobile users, Flickr has official mobile apps for iOS, Android, and an optimized mobile site.

Economic graph Inspired by Facebook's "social graph", LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner set a goal in 2012 to create an "economic graph" within a decade. The goal is to create a comprehensive digital map of the world economy and the connections within it. The economic graph was to be built on the company's current platform with data nodes including companies, jobs, skills, volunteer opportunities, educational institutions, and content. They have been hoping to include all the job listings in the world, all the skills required to get those jobs, all the professionals who could fill them, and all the companies (nonprofit and for-profit) at which they work. The ultimate goal is to make the world economy and job market more efficient through increased transparency. In June 2014, the company announced its "Galene" search architecture to give users access to the economic graph's data with more thorough filtering of data, via user searches like "Engineers with Hadoop experience in Brazil." LinkedIn has used economic graph data to research several topics on the job market, including popular destination cities of recent college graduates, areas with high concentrations of technology skills,and common career transitions. LinkedIn provided the City of New York with data from economic graph showing "in-demand" tech skills for the city's "Tech Talent Pipeline" project. Source: Wikipedia

story of LinkedIn
LinkedIn office building at 222 Second Street in
San Francisco (opened in March 2016)
LinkedIn Office in Toronto.
The company was founded in December 2002 by Reid Hoffman and founding team members from PayPal and Socialnet.com (Allen Blue, Eric Ly, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Lee Hower, Konstantin Guericke, Stephen Beitzel, David Eves, Ian McNish, Yan Pujante, Chris Saccheri).[23] In late 2003, Sequoia Capital led the Series A investment in the company.[24] In August 2004, LinkedIn reached 1 million users.[25] In March 2006, LinkedIn achieved its first month of profitability.[25] In April 2007, LinkedIn reached 10 million users.[25] In February 2008, LinkedIn launched a mobile version of the site.[26]
In June 2008, Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and other venture capital firms purchased a 5% stake in the company for $53 million, giving the company a post-money valuationof approximately $1 billion.[27] In November 2009, LinkedIn opened its office in Mumbai[28] and soon thereafter in Sydney, as it started its Asia-Pacific team expansion. In 2010, LinkedIn opened an International Headquarters in Dublin, Ireland,[29] received a $20 million investment from Tiger Global Management LLC at a valuation of approximately $2 billion,[30] announced its first acquisition, Mspoke,[31] and improved its 1% premium subscription ratio.[32] In October of that year, Silicon Valley Insider ranked the company No. 10 on its Top 100 List of most valuable start ups.[33] By December, the company was valued at $1.575 billion in private markets.
2011 to present
LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January 2011. The company traded its first shares on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol "LNKD", at $45 per share. Shares of LinkedIn rose as much as 171% on their first day of trade on the New York Stock Exchange and closed at $94.25, more than 109% above IPO price. Shortly after the IPO, the site's underlying infrastructure was revised to allow accelerated revision-release cycles. In 2011, LinkedIn earned $154.6 million in advertising revenue alone, surpassing Twitter, which earned $139.5 million. LinkedIn's fourth-quarter 2011 earnings soared because of the company's increase in success in the social media world. By this point, LinkedIn had about 2,100 full-time employees compared to the 500 that it had in 2010.
In Q2 2012, LinkedIn leased 57,120 square feet on three floors of the One Montgomery Tower building in the Financial District of San Francisco, which was expanded to 135,000 square feet by 2014. In May 2012, LinkedIn announced that its Q1 2012 revenues were up to $188.5 million compared to $93.9 million in Q1 2011. Net income increased 140% over Q1 2011 to $5 million. Revenue for Q2 was estimated to be between $210 to $215 million. In November 2012, LinkedIn released its third quarter earnings, reporting earnings-per-share of $0.22 on revenue of $252 million. As a result of these numbers, LinkedIn's stock increased to roughly $112 a share.
In April 2014, LinkedIn announced that it had leased 222 Second Street, a 26-story building under construction in San Francisco's SoMadistrict, to accommodate up to 2,500 of its employees,[39] with the lease covering 10 years. The goal was to join all San Francisco-based staff (1,250 as of January 2016) in one building, bringing sales and marketing employees together with the research and developmentteam. They started to move in in March 2016. In February 2016, following an earnings report, LinkedIn's shares dropped 43.6% within a single day, down to $108.38 per share. LinkedIn lost $10 billion of its market capitalization that day.
On June 13, 2016, Microsoft announced that it would acquire LinkedIn for $196 a share, a total value of $26.2 billion and the largest acquisition made by Microsoft to date. The acquisition would be an all-cash, debt-financed transaction. Microsoft would allow LinkedIn to "retain its distinct brand, culture and independence", with Weiner to remain as CEO, who would then report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Analysts believed Microsoft saw the opportunity to integrate LinkedIn with its Office product suite to help better integrate the professional network system with its products. The deal was completed on December 8, 2016.
In late 2016, LinkedIn announced a planned increase of 200 new positions in its Dublin office, which would bring the total employee count to 1,200.

LinkedIn (LI) is a professional networking website. While other social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace focus more on personal and social networking. LinkedIn allows professionals to create and maintain career-oriented business connections and promote their services or professional skills. Since it was founded in 2002, LinkedIn has become one of the top sites in the world for professional networking. LinkedIn is a business and employment-oriented service that operates via websites and mobile apps. Founded on December 28, 2002, and launched on May 5, 2003, it is mainly used for professional networking, including employers posting jobs and job seekers posting their CVs. As of 2015, most of the company's revenue came from selling access to information about its members to recruiters and sales professionals. As of April 2017, LinkedIn had 500 million members in 200 countries, out of which more than 106 million members are active. LinkedIn allows members (both workers and employers) to create profiles and "connections" to each other in an online social network which may represent real-world professional relationships. Members can invite anyone (whether an existing member or not) to become a connection. The "gated-access approach" (where contact with any professional requires either an existing relationship or an introduction through a contact of theirs) is intended to build trust among the service's members. LinkedIn participated in the EU's International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles. The site has an Alexa Internet ranking as the 34th most popular website (June 2018). According to the New York Times, US high school students are now creating LinkedIn profiles to include with their college applications. Based in the United States, the site is, as of 2013, available in 24 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Czech, Polish, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, and Tagalog. LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January 2011 and traded its first shares on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol"LNKD". On June 13, 2016, Microsoft announced plans to acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. The acquisition was completed on December 8, 2016. According to the SEC filing, "The transaction resulted in the payment of approximately $26.4 billion in cash merger consideration." Users on LinkedIn maintain professional profiles, including such details as their educational background, work or employment history, list of major projects and professional accomplishments, professional certifications, and membership to professional bodies. All this information is placed in the user's "Profile" section. LinkedIn is also a resource for recruiters. Because of the wealth of detailed, searchable professional data, the site has turned into a valuable tool for recruiters and recruitment agencies as well as job seekers. In fact, the job seeking and job placement abilities of LinkedIn have morphed into one of its most-used features. To aid in this, LinkedIn provides a "Follow" feature so that users may be kept abreast of an organization's job offers in addition to other news about the organization. LI's other notable features are: Members can post photos and view the profiles and photos of other users. Members can view how many people have searched for and viewed them recently, although more detailed information requires an paid upgrade to a premium account. Employers can list jobs and openings and search for potential candidates. LI allows embedding or tying of applications, such as an Amazon reading list that displays a list of books the member has read or purchased from Amazon. A "Groups" feature, in which anyone can form a group for like-minded professionals and members can hold discussions, post jobs and write articles.
