LinkedIn is a business and employment-oriented social networking 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 September 2016, LinkedIn had more than 467 million accounts, out of which more than 106 million 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.

Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages, "tweets," restricted to 140 characters.

Registered users can post tweets, but those who are unregistered can only read them.

Users access Twitter through its website interface, SMS or a mobile device app.

Twitter Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, United States, and has more than 25 offices around the world.

Social media are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.

The variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some common features:

Electronic mail, or email, is a method of exchanging digital messages between people using digital devices such as computers and mobile phones.

Email first entered substantial use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email.

Email operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet.

Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging.

Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model.

Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages.

Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

A background check or background investigation is the process of looking up and compiling criminal records, commercial records, and financial records of an individual or an organization.
