LinkedIn Snaps up Newsle in an Undisclosed Fee


(Web Design in Cambodia Digital Marketing Agency, restartbox.com)- Having established itself as one of the world’s leading social networks, LinkedIn has now paid a believed-to-be large amount of money for the joining of Newsle, a news alert startup that sends updates to users about network connections.

As it typically works, once a friend or contact is mentioned in a news article, Newsle will send an e-mail about it in a perfectly near real-time.

According to Newsle, all of its staff, including founders Jonah Varon and Axel Hansen, will join LinkedIn.

“For the last three years, Newsle has leveraged its disambiguation, natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to build an extremely compelling product that finds blogs and articles that mention you or anyone you care about – colleagues, bosses, industry thought leaders, etc. – and notifies you seconds after they’ve published,” a LinkedIn official stated.

“We’re excited to work with Newsle’s team to combine this technology with our core assets and build experiences that continue to make you and millions of other professionals more productive and successful.”
