^ The biggest Acquisition in the company's history ...

Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 Billion, LNKD shares jump 47% ...

LinkedIn CEO will remain CEO of the professional social network, and will report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Under the terms of the acquisition, LinkedIn will maintain its "distinct brand, culture, and independence."

Microsoft Corp. snapped up LinkedIn Corp. for $26.2 billion in the largest acquisition in its history, betting the professional social network can rev up the tech titan’s software offerings despite recent struggles by both companies.

Mr. Nadella said today’s work is split between tools workers use to get their jobs done, such as Microsoft’s Office programs, and professional networks that connect workers. The deal, he said, aims to weave those two pieces together.

“It’s really the coming together of the professional cloud and the professional network,” Mr. Nadella said in an interview on Monday.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest and most valuable professional network and continues to build a strong and growing business. Over the past year, the company has launched a new version of its mobile app that has led to increased member engagement; enhanced the LinkedIn newsfeed to deliver better business insights; acquired a leading online learning platform called Lynda.com to enter a new market; and rolled out a new version of its Recruiter product to its enterprise customers. These innovations have resulted in increased membership, engagement and financial results, specifically:

1) 19 percent growth year over year (YOY) to more than 433 million members worldwide

2) 9 percent growth YOY to more than 105 million unique visiting members per month

3) 49 percent growth YOY to 60 percent mobile usage

4) 34 percent growth YOY to more than 45 billion quarterly member page views

5) 101 percent growth YOY to more than 7 million active job listings

For instance, connecting Office directly to LinkedIn could help attendees of meetings learn more about one another directly from invitations in their calendars. Sales representatives using Microsoft’s Dynamics software for managing customer relationships could pick up useful tidbits of background on potential customers from LinkedIn data.

Microsoft also sees opportunities in Lynda.com, a channel for training videos that LinkedIn bought for $1.5 billion last year. Microsoft will be able to offer Lynda’s videos inside its own software, such as Excel spreadsheets.

Shares of LinkedIn surged 47 percent after the announcement to near $193, while Microsoft's stock was down 3.2 percent. Trading in Microsoft had been halted briefly for news pending before the announcement of the all-cash deal.

The deal is expected to be completed this calendar year.

^ Google is Now Part of a New Company Alphabet ...
>

So you thought Google was a sprawling Silicon Valley entity with a frightening amount of power…

Meet "Alphabet" .... Larry Page just announced this new parent company for Google and all of its various offspring. Speaking for his fellow Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Page called the creation of Alphabet “a very exciting new chapter in the life of Google.” He means that it’s the next step to making the search giant into an even more giant corporation.

(Alphabet’s CEO Larry Page said in his blog post ...

"Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President").

The new umbrella company will include Google spinoffs like its health effort, Life Sciences, and longevity research arm, Calico. The mad scientist paradise known as X lab will also become its own company, as will Nest and Fiber. Meanwhile, Ventures, Capital, Sidewalk, and the drone-delivery service Wing will also become separate companies under Alphabet’s umbrella. As for Google itself, the SEC filing states, “Under the new operating structure, its main Google business will include search, ads, maps, apps, YouTube and Android and the related technical infrastructure (the ‘Google business’).”

As part of the move, Page, Google's founder and CEO, will take over as CEO of Alphabet (the company's URL will appropriately be ABC.xyz). Sundar Pichai, Page's top deputy at Google, will take over as CEO of Google.

For now, Alphabet’s creation appears to be a restructuring that will affect Google’s growth going forward. Page explained that Google will be slimmed down as spinoffs become their own companies. He also announced that Sundar Pichai—the former head of Android, Chrome, and Apps—will become CEO of Google. Page and Brin will ascend to the top two positions at Alphabet as the parent company’s CEO and President, respectively. Google stock will become Alphabet stock, and everyone will be confused about this means for a little while.

"We liked the name Alphabet because it means a collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity’s most important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search! We also like that it means alpha-bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for!" . Page Said ...

Beyond that, the change continues a long, gradual trajectory of freeing up Page from day-to-day management of Google, allowing the founder to think more broadly about the company's future. It also may just appeal to the vanity of top execs within the company: Suddenly there are a few more C-suite opportunities.

The move comes at a time when Wall Street is once again in love with Google, following a strong earnings report and the hiring of a well-regarded CFO. Investors appeared to cheer the introduction of Alphabet: Google stock jumped 5% in after hours trading following the announcement.

^ Google to Shut down Gtalk Messenger on February 16th ...
>

Google: Gtalk will be no more operational after February 16th.

Google’s Gtalk messenger platform is drawing its last few breaths and will go dead after 16th February. While the messenger has become very popular amongst millions of users its not that Google is putting end to its Messenger services but is upgrading it to Google Hangouts Messenger services for Windows users.

Gtalk was already made unavailable for download from Google after it announced last year that the end is nearer. after which users looking to download Gtalk were redirected to Google Hangouts download page.

Earlier this week Google once again notified Gtalk users to upgrade to Google hangout coz the app will go unoperational after Feb 16th.

While Gtalk’s interface has become very familiar to many of its users not to forget mentioning that it loads better than Google Hangout on slow internet connections. Another problem is that it has also become lifeline for lower end older smartphone users because these phones dont support a all frills laden Google Hangout App. But Google seems to have other plans and security has become a major issue Google so it altogether dumping the Gtalk Messenger.

Google Hangout which only operates with its Chrome browser will also bind its users to use Google Chrome if they want to use the service, not to forget WhatsApp Recently getting on PC’s to give Google’s Messenger service a strong competition.

Major features that Google Hangout provides like Google Video Hangouts and Group Video Chats means that it is still a long way for others to give any sort of direct competition to it.

The notification from Google says the Gtalk app will go dead for the Windows user it does not say anything about users working on a different operating system than the Windows. Maybe Google plans to keep GChat live on other operating systems for the time being.
