The business social media platform LinkedIn announced on Monday that it is acquiring Israeli marketing analytics firm Oribi.

“Through the integration of Oribi’s technology into our marketing solutions platform, our customers will benefit from enhanced campaign attribution to optimize the ROI of their advertising strategies,” said Tomer Cohen, Chief Product Officer at LinkedIn, in a blog post.

Oribi’s technology, similar to Google Analytics, will improve operating ads campaigns on LinkedIn.

As a result of the deal, a new LinkedIn office is being established in Israel.

“Following the closing of the transaction, several members of the Oribi team, including founder and veteran entrepreneur, Iris Shoor, are expected to join LinkedIn and will be based in the Tel Aviv office,” said Cohen.

“It’s yet another example of the Wikipedia editors’ anti-Israel bias,” Alyza Lewin of the Combat Antisemitism Movement told JNS.
“We feel that we made one huge achievement and that is to move the conversation from whether these crimes happened to what are their consequences,” Israeli legal scholar Cochav Elkayam-Levy told JNS.
“I hate injustice,” Catherine Hanaway told JNS. “That’s a big part of why I’m attracted to public service, and to law enforcement specifically.”
“The charging documents help show how social media applications have lowered the bar to facilitate money and support to Hamas,” Seamus Hughes, a University of Nebraska terrorism expert, told JNS.
