Meta vs LinkedIn?



Based on a new patent filing by Meta, it is possible that Meta is getting ready to go face-to-face with LinkedIn, perhaps providing a service that could put Meta in a position to monetize its platform.  Will they make people create separate pages or will your posts be able to be separated into "buckets", personal vs professional?  We don't know that yet. However, it seems that Patent Filing Application Number: US 2023/0177466 A1 might indicate that Meta wants to beat job posting sites like Indeed, CareerBuilder, and others. Given its current juggernaut of an App, Facebook, it would not surprise me if they are thinking of stomping on the grounds of professional services on social media sites. Who knows, they could be launching their very own version of Fiverr or Upwork. Really, at this time, no one knows. But it is interesting to see that machine learning is becoming more important than ever.
