Last week LinkedIn unveiled new technology to improve its security, about a week after Twitter introduced similar tools following a surge in high-profile attacks on its users. 

The optional service, known as two-factor authentication, is designed to verify the identity of users as they log in by requiring them to enter numeric codes sent via text message. 

Turn on  the two-step verification for your account now by going to your LinkedIn Settings, selecting the Account tab and clicking Manage security settings option. Step-by-step instructions below:.

With our 2^nd Prezi workshop just around the corner we caught up with the @ThePrezenter Russell Anderson – Williams to ask him a few questions about his love for the ever growing cloud-based presentation software 'Prezi'.

How much time investment is required to become comfortable with the platform?

We’d recommend a day to get to grips with the software. The Prezi mind-set can take a little longer to master because we’re all so brain washed by slide based presentation tools. If you keep practising you’ll definitely ditch the slide based way of thinking within a few weeks. You won’t ever go back to slides after that ;-)

Come along to our Prezi Masterclass on the 17^th of April to discover the magic for yourself.

Follow Russell on twitter @ThePrezenter to keep your Prezi skills up to date and uncover lots of new tips
