Linkedin Blog

Ed. note: This belongs to a series of posts on how web sites and services are integrating LinkedIn functionality using the LinkedIn API. This post comes from Kevin O’Keefe of LexBlog, a professional turnkey blog solution to leading lawyers and other professional services firms. There are currently 3,000 blog authors on the LexBlog Network.

One of the things LexBlog does for our clients is to identify valuable tools that our clients can use to extend the reach of their blogs and engage their target audience. LinkedIn is a tool we at LexBlog consider essential for professionals looking to enhance their reputation. LinkedIn has become not only the leading professional directory in the world, it also provides tremendous networking opportunities when used effectively.

So when the LinkedIn API was announced it made sense for LexBlog to integrate our blog platform with the LinkedIn API. One of the core components of the API is access to sending LexBlog Network updates into LinkedIn. As a publisher, this allows us to facilitate LexBlog Network authors to distribute their latest blog posts to their LinkedIn network connections.
