US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru.

LinkedIn gets stories, lets users post disappearing videos like Instagram

LinkedIn is the latest networking platform to support Stories. The feature will work similar to Instagram and Snapchat and will disappear after 24 hours. Adding Stories is a big change for the professional networking platform. While we have seen it making gradual design changes to look less serious, adding videos is a different ball game altogether. The Stories will show up at the top of every user’s Feed. And LinkedIn is rolling out the feature for users in Canada and the US for now. Other markets will be getting the update in the coming weeks.

Stories have become a popular part of apps like Instagram and Snapchat over the years. But unlike LinkedIn, all these are social platforms for the general public. While the former caters to a niche audience. The process is familiar, shoot a quick video, photo, and add it with text, GiF or emoticon. Share it with select users or everyone in your network.

The addition of Stories is part of the redesigned interface, which now offers an easy video-call process. For this, you can choose between video meeting platforms like Zoom, Blue Jeans, Microsoft Teams, and more. This will be available from next month onwards.
