BIG DATA, BIG BUCKS: LinkedIn’s Dan Roth Talks Social News At ‘Social Media ROI’

July 27, 2012 · 0 Comments

In the last year, LinkedIn has successfully transformed itself from a mere career-networking tool to a useful information portal.

And investors are watching: LinkedIn, unlike Facebook and Groupon, is trading above its 2011 IPO price today.

A key piece of this bid to become more valuable to users has been revamped a landing page of targeted headlines called “LinkedIn Today.”

You can hear from a key player in the push to make LinkedIn a must-read at the Social Media ROI conference on September 27, 2012, in New York.

Dan Roth is the New York-based executive editor who left Fortune to curate content for the professional social network.
