Jeb Bush joins LinkedIn as it seeks to engage campaigns, voters

Kiev, Ukraine - Jan 12, 2013: A close-up of an Apple iPad screen showing the Linkedin login page. Linkedin is a social networking website for people in professional occupations. Founded in December 2002 and launched on May 5, 2003, it is mainly used for professional networking.

By Phil Ammann, SaintPetersBlog.com, July 26, 2015 – Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Last week, Jeb Bush joined LinkedIn, the global professional networking site and a place that attracts employers and job seekers worldwide.

The jokes came easy, since the former Florida governor is indeed looking for a new job – President of the United States.

Beyond simply creating a new profile, however, Bush used LinkedIn to publish a lengthy epistle on the culture of “disruption” coming from Silicon Valley, writes Elise Viebeck of the Washington PostPowerPost blog.
