LinkedIn works with Twitter, and vice versa

Like peanut butter and chocolateToday we’re announcing a partnership between LinkedIn and Twitter – and new features that we think are going to make both Twitter and LinkedIn more powerful for you. 

The idea is simple: When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing. And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool.

Why? Because when you’re trying to get something done, you want Twitter and LinkedIn to work together. Like peanut butter and chocolate! Or at least that’s what Biz and Reid think:

LinkedIn has always been about helping you to build your professional identity on the web. The many elements that make up your online professional brand range from your LinkedIn profile to the many professional conversations you’re a part of. Status has proved valuable to our users, from finding new assignments and jobs to kick-starting a global business enterprise.

Now you can amplify those messages by broadcasting them to your audience on Twitter.

How does LinkedIn work with Twitter?

The feature is now available to all of our users, and with today’s launch, we’re making that two-way communication between your status updates and tweets a breeze to set up. Here’s how it works:

1. On LinkedIn

Want to share some interesting ideas about an industry-specific article you’ve just read with an even broader audience? Or how about letting people view your Twitter account name on your LinkedIn profile? Begin by joining your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts in just a few clicks. All you need to do is check the Twitter box under your Network Updates box on the homepage and follow a few simple steps.

Syncing your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts

Syncing your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts

Clicking through the setup process will allow you to specify the Twitter account that you’d like to sync and/or display on your LinkedIn profile.

2. On Twitter

As a professional online and in the real world, you’ll often find articles or think of ideas that would be useful to share with your Twitter followers and your LinkedIn connections. It’s about sparking interesting conversations. Now you can share from anywhere. As part of the setup process, you can choose to either send all your tweets or select tweets from Twitter back to LinkedIn as a status update.

Share tweets as your LinkedIn status

Share tweets as your LinkedIn status

If you pick the latter, don’t forget to add the #li or #in hashtag to every relevant tweet you’d like to send back to LinkedIn. Here’s a good example:

#in on Twitter to post as your LinkedIn status

Include #in with any tweet to post as your LinkedIn status

So go ahead and get started. Link your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts today to add a new dimension to your professional conversation.

  11. I think it’s awesome that you guys are incorporating Twitter! Just a quick troubleshooting tip – for whatever reason Twitter thinks I’m a spammer so my #hashtags no longer show up in Twitter threads…if people are using the #in hashtag but their posts are displaying in their linkedin status…this might be why. :)

  14. How is this any different from a service like ping.fm?

  17. I get this error when clicking the “get started” link and I can’t find a link elsewhere:

    We’re sorry, there was a problem with the link you followed.

    If you are following a link from an email, please be sure the link was not broken by your email client. If the link extends onto multiple lines, you may need to cut and paste each line into the location bar of your browser (beginning with the first line, then second, immediately after each other) until the full and complete link is recreated.

    If you are coming from elsewhere in our website, we apologize for the inconvenience. Follow this link to return to the home page.

  18. Great! When can I try it? Emphasising the #in filter will be wise. You may want to put that in a one of those new-app-banners. I am sure European users will appreciate it. “Unfiltered tweeting to LinkedIn may cause serious network digesting issues”
    Keep up the innovations!

    However, is it actually working? I’m in the UK and don’t see that Twitter logo and checkbox beneath the Network Updates box. Plus, the link to Twitter settings within LinkedIn is broken. Neither do I see any settings at Twitter to connect with linkedIn.

    So is it on selective roll out, eg, US only for now?

  23. Linkedin considers its interactivity with other sites and applications very seriously before it makes a decision to act. Making this commitment shows it considers twitter as a very serious micro-blogging site. Twitter should NOW be taken more seriously by everyone.

  27. [...] On its blog today LinkedIn has announced a partnership with Twitter. Much needed I'd say and particularly for LinkedIn, which I think desperately needed a real-time web shot in the arm.As Biz Stone, Twitter co-founders says in this little video with Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn (they describe the partnership like peanut butter and chocolate) below the business use case for Twitter has turned out to be much bigger than anyone imagined. Twitter has proved to be a key plank in every social media strategy being looked at by most brands. Stone is absolutely right when he says this applies equally on the personal level in business and that Twitter has essentially become part of our resume (CV to you mate). That's why hooking up with LinkedIn makes so much sense. Stone says: "The general idea of putting a little twitter in everything is being able to inject into LinkedIn a little bit more of this fresh here's what's going on with these other things, but with a little bit of a curated sense in terms of your professional life."When you set your status on LinkedIn (do people do that? I need to use it more) you can now tweet it as well. This could make people more inclined to visit LinkedIn. At the moment it is not a daily visit for many people that I speak to like Twitter or Facebook. Although I'm not a heavy LinkedIn user and I know there are no doubt many more who turn to it on a more regular basis.LinkedIn says its rolling out features over the next few days and here's what you will get:1. On LinkedInFirst you join your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts to allow you to share articles you’re reading and letting people view your Twitter account name on your LinkedIn profile. To do that all do is check the Twitter box under your Network Updates box on the homepage and follow a few simple steps.2. On TwitterAs part of the setup process, you can choose to either send all your tweets or select tweets from Twitter back to LinkedIn as a status update. So that means you might see an article you want to share on LinkedIn, but many not every single tweet.More on the LinkedIn blog  [...]

  160. I have LinkedIn updates set up as an RSS feed. Now the people I follow on Twitter who post their tweets to LinkedIn are cluttering up my RSS updates. Sometimes too much of a good thing (integration) can be a bad thing. How can I turn this off?

  164. Good article, but there are still real limitations to LinkedIn status updates, like the fact that you can only see someone’s last post, and the fact that you can only see a maximum of 10.

    I just wrote a blog post with my wish list at http://www.the-linkedin-speaker.com/blog/2009/11/11/linkedin-and-twitter-now-cross-post-status-updates/

    great Idea! Looking forward to using it.

    Now only if the Quality of Linkedin.com can improve. If a senior manager of Linkedin would like to learn more, feel free to contact me.

  167. While Twitter integration is a relatively simple feature to add, so no harm, no foul, I don’t really see it as helping most users advance their professional goals by having it attached to LinkedIn. (Kudos for having the #in hash tag option, though, so that even if a user does integrate, as I have, they don’t have to tell all their professional contacts about the great restaurant they just ate at.)

    It seems like there might be other services to integrate with, like job-finding services, including industry-specific ones, that would be more useful to more users.

  168. I may be in the minority, but I rarely post the same content on my LinkedIn and Twitter updates. Two different audiences!

    Still, I like how LinkedIn is always improving their service. What’s surprising is that I still come across people in business who have never heard of it.

    here are my settings: http://www.effusiondesign.com/linkedin.jpg

    I’ve deleted my account, and readded it twice now, switched my sharing options, posted correctly on Twitter with the #in and #li, still it won’t show up in LinkedIn when posted from Twitter.

    Please advise — thanks!

    I have set my twitter link up and all seems ok when tweeting as it updates across to my linked in network status – cool.

    However it seems to be only one way traffic, as if i post a network update on my linked in home page ( check the box next to the twitter icon and press share ) – it only updates my linked in status and won’t update my twitter status- really strange and frustrating. Advice welcomed thanks!!

  246. @JW,

    That’s rather odd. We haven’t had similar complaints from other users. I’ve forwarded your request to our customer service team. Stay tuned for an update.

    And, thanks for your patience.

  247. Is there anywhere to write an opinion that a completely integrated LI/Twitter experience isn’t necessarily a good thing. I liked LI because it was a way to be connected with my network in a way that I could keep fresh (the applications are useful for this) without being completely overwhelmed by the noise that people in the twitterverse often send out. And I’m someone who is pretty social media literate, what about the millions of LI users who are just trying to get up and running with LI, much less other social media platforms. I think that LI’s conservative approach over the past 6 years has been a good idea. It’s a slippery slope when you start calling your connections “followers” in the groups. What’s next?

  267. I’m one of the few here who think this feature is not really such a great thing. I use both LinkedIn and Twitter, but for vastly different purposes. My LinkedIn page is now overwhelmed with entirely uninteresting noise from my contacts who have connected their tweets. While I understand now that many/most people like this feature, I really do hate it, and I need an option to suppress all status updates that are coming from Twitter. Please give us the control to make this manageable, or I may find myself abandoning LinkedIn.

  268. John you can control the number of Network updates as well as the types of Updates you would like to see on your home page so it doesn’t become too overwhelming.
    Click on ‘Settings’ at the top of your home page then ‘Network Updates’ under ‘Home Page Settings’. This will allow you to adjust the number of updates that post and hide various types of updates. We will continue to try to make this feature useful in keeping up on your network’s activities yet manageable. Thanks for your feedback! Dirk
