Linkedin Blog

In November 2009, LinkedIn launched our first Twitter integration features.  Since then, over one million LinkedIn members have taken the opportunity to add their Twitter accounts to their LinkedIn profile.

One of the most common requests we receive is for help finding relevant professionals to follow on Twitter. I’m happy to post that starting today, we’ll be rolling out a significant improvement to our Tweets application that allows LinkedIn members to easily find and keep track of their LinkedIn connections on both LinkedIn and Twitter.

Would you like to improve the way you work and communicate with your team and other organizations at the touch of a button?

In today’s 24/7 digital world, marketing teams worldwide are often tasked with managing multiple business relationships across the globe. Not only are they expected to share information and results with the board, various internal teams, and other departments, but these teams are also faced with the challenge of sharing documents, images and plans with external PR and design agencies, partners and suppliers.

Today at LinkedIn we’re celebrating the achievement of creating the world’s largest centipede to ever run (okay, stroll) the ING Bay to Breakers. Yesterday at the obnoxious hour of five am, thirty of us gathered in San Francisco to attempt the monumental task of creating an in person manifestation of a LinkedIn network. Our mission: to connect at least 2027 people at the world’s largest foot race, (aka San Francisco’s seven mile block party) in an attempt to break the Guinness world record for longest human centipede.

Ever want an icebreaker to kick off a meeting? Chances are you share school ties or have a contact in common with fellow meeting attendees. TimeBridge, a web app that helps you schedule and run great meetings, has got your back with the new LinkedIn Profile Widget, fully integrated into TimeBridge’s Meeting Room. The Meeting Room is a page for organizers and attendees to access to all pertinent meeting details and materials. Now, you can easily acquaint yourself with everyone at the meeting in seconds, save time on long introductions, and get straight to the work at hand.

To access this integration in your next TimeBridge meeting, head to your Meeting Room, and scroll your mouse over the LinkedIn icon next to an attendee’s name. An abbreviated version of the attendee’s LinkedIn profile will pop up displaying his or her current position, education, and relevant websites. From there, click on the widget to see their full profile, and even request to connect on LinkedIn.
