I love how the first sentence after the list, the quote from LinkedIn's Chief Data Scientist, is also 100% Buzzword Compliant: LinkedIn has a unique ability that reveal insights that help professionals and much more.

Come on, you're just paraphrasing. Here's the full quote:

“We have the unique ability to uncover interesting workplace trends in our data given the high volume of people with profiles on LinkedIn,” said DJ Patil, LinkedIn's Chief Data Scientist. "In this case, we wanted to reveal insights that help professionals make better choices about how to position themselves online whether they are reaching out to new clients or networking with peers.”

I picked out some over-used words and phrases. For example, how many times have you been told by someone they have "unique abilities" and they "help professionals"? At least with LinkedIn you can believe it, but that doesn't mean the words aren't abused.
