Whois & Analysis for slideshare.net

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.

LinkedIn SlideShare is a Web 2.0–based slide hosting service.

Users can upload files privately or publicly in the following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote or OpenDocument presentations.

Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other sites.

Launched on October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be similar to YouTube, but for slideshows.

It was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012.

The website was originally meant to be used for businesses to share slides among employees more easily, but it also has expanded to become a host of a large number of slides that are uploaded merely to entertain.

Although the website is primarily a slide hosting service, it also supports documents, PDFs, videos and webinars.

SlideShare also provides users the ability to rate, comment on, and share the uploaded content.

Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly.

They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends.

Similar pursuits are information visualization, data visualization, statistical graphics, information design, or information architecture.

Infographics have evolved in recent years to be for mass communication, and thus are designed with fewer assumptions about the readers' knowledge base than other types of visualizations.

Isotypes are an early example of infographics conveying information quickly and easily to the masses.

Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.

A presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an audience.

It is typically a demonstration, introduction, lecture, or speech meant to inform, persuade, or build good will.

The term can also be used for a formal or ritualized introduction or offering, as with the presentation of a debutante.
