Since the day we launched Company Profiles, one of the most commonly requested features from our members has been to keep track of key developments at companies they like. Starting today, you can be in the loop on new developments, potential business opportunities or even job opportunities by following companies of interest to you.
“Follow Company” helps you be among the first to learn about developments at companies like DreamWorks, find job openings at NASA or stumble upon business development opportunities at Netflix. The new feature lets you tap into key goings-on at nearly a million companies that already have their company profiles on LinkedIn and more that are being created every day.
Most of us turn to blogs, newspapers, magazines, trade publications, and more when we’re looking for the info we need. But just as often, we count on our colleagues and peers to point out the stuff we should read.
That’s why we’ve just made some incremental changes to how sharing works on LinkedIn. Here’s a video about how it works and a longer list of features and functionality around this new feature that you can start using today.
Ed. note: We spend a lot of time talking about our cool products and features on this blog, so it makes sense to give some attention to the cool people joining us who make it happen.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal ran an article on the hiring spree in the Tech Sector. And while articles about job growth always catch my attention, this one was particularly relevant. As part of the Tech Sector, LinkedIn is not just a catalyst for job seekers but also a potential home.
This year, we’re expanding our Engineering, Analytics and Sales teams and will continue to round out our Product and Marketing teams, probably growing from 600 employees today to over 800 by the end of the year.
