CNET Update - LinkedIn inserts profiles into e-mails
2013-10-24
linkedIn has a way to put profile
details into emails I'm Richard Carey
and this is your cnet update linkedin
has a new program for iPhones that puts
people's profile data within an email
message so right below the name of the
sender you can get a quick look at what
this person does for a living and how
you're connected it all shows up in your
normal iphone email inbox but to have it
work you're essentially giving linkedin
access to your email accounts and
putting trust in linkedin servers
although linkedin promises that your
information is kept private it still can
make people uncomfortable and LinkedIn
doesn't have a flawless record with
security last year hackers were able to
steal millions of LinkedIn passwords but
right now this only works with some
email clients like gmail yahoo and AOL
LinkedIn is also working on a version of
this for Android and iPhone users you
can sign up at intro linkedin com in
other app news Twitter's six-second
video maker vine it's added new ways to
edit a video and change the order of
your clip mashup instead of only giving
users one chance to get it right the
sessions tool lets users save a post and
come back to it later and you can work
on up to ten videos at once the
time-travel feature lets users remove
reorganize or place any shot within a
post before it's shared this makes it a
little easier now to make a good vine
video but some users did like the
challenge before if you're in the market

again cut the price of its original
surface pro tablet by one hundred bucks
it now costs seven hundred dollars for a
64 gig model of the pro which is loaded

included with the pro models but the
snap on keyboard covers they're sold
separately Tebow's latest DVR machine

the romeo pro and the romeo + let users
stream live TV shows and recorded
programs to their ipads iphones or
touches the future works even if the
owner is outside of the home it just
requires a Wi-Fi connection to work and
only one iOS device can stream at a time
tebow also says that not all content may
be available to stream due to copyright
issues so those limitations could put a
damper on the experience in time this
app will also be on Android and it's
also going to support streaming over a
cellular connection that's your tech
