Interesting feature for LinkedIn

techii — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:39:00 +0000

A new interesting feature introduced recently to LinkedIn was the Skills. Skills are edited by each user in order to organize his skills within profile. However, linkedIn is using such feature in different way. For example, If you are looking for a person, group or company that is interested in a business related to such skill, then LinkedIn allows you to list all persons, groups or companies that is related to such skill.

For example, take a look on the page http://www.linkedin.com/skills/skill/Demographic_Analysis

Mark Johnson, now the CEO of Zite

Prior to joining Zite, Johnson helped build a slew of search-related startups, including SideStep (which Kayak acquired for $180 million), Kosmix (which Walmart bought for a reported $300 million), and PowerSet, the natural language search engine acquired in 2008 for an estimated $100 million by Microsoft, where Johnson stayed for a few years to work on Bing. But now because of unrealistic costs related to personalizing search, Johnson is focused on content delivery with Zite.
