I found a great tutorial on how to use ping.fm to update the status here in LI and it is working well … I’ve also been able to streamline some other service notifications. I’m not a gadget geek and I figured it out.

I’ve been searching a solution for a long time…

Actually the only way I know is using ping.fm that seems to be the unique posting service integrated to linkedin too.

Here here – I’ll add my voice for linking Twitter with LinkedIn status. I use the Facebook application Selective Twitter Status, and it works GREAT. I definitely don’t want my status changed every time I tweet, but if I could add a #li hashtag to the end to update my status too, that would be excellent.

I’m with Dave – “All I want is for my business tweets to update my LinkedIn status. That’s it!”

Someone has figured it out, but it I sure can’t! and there is no help in the forums, either.

Facebook has a selective twitter update app. Any twitter update which ends with #fb updates the facebook status. I recommend something similar. This way, not all my tweets end up on facebook.

Most of my status updates are on twitter with facebook being secondary. I would like to be able to end a twitter update with, say, #lnkdn or a shorter hashtag and it show up as my Linked In status update.

Come on guys, time to catch up with the rest of the world! This twitter/linkedin request seems pretty popular but hasn’t been acted on in over a year and a half.

All I want is for my business tweets to update my LinkedIn status. That’s it!

@Dave- Understood. I’ve forwarded your comments as well as others about Twitter to the PMs for consideration as well. Thanks for your feedback.

Dirk – you’re forwarding a suggestion about using the linked-in status updates on people’s websites, but no response about allowing updates to be set from twitter?

I have noticed that the social-net sites that I frequent the most are the ones which also allow integration. Coincidence or consequence?

Bottom line is that I (and many others) use twitter to update status on numerous sites, including my blog. The idea that linked-in is locked out from these updates simply makes linked-in less relevant.

NB not totally irrelevant, its got some purpose for me or I would have stopped checking in by now. But it’s really low on my radar primarily because of the lack of integration with other sites.
