Keeping track of what your connections are doing professionally is one of the most important things we offer to our members at LinkedIn. We’re excited to announce LinkedIn for iPhone 3.2, because we’ve made it easier than ever to stay up-to-date and find the most important changes happening in your professional network.
Since its roll out at the end of June, the new groups interface has already significantly increased member participation, measured by user comments and visits to Groups. We’ve also been listening to user feedback from many of our active groups on LinkedIn. In the spirit of continuous improvement, we’re excited to present the first set of improvements to how Groups can be moderated that we’ve incorporated after hearing from you.
1. Delete threads directly. One of the biggest concerns group managers have had is around spam and how best to manage it effectively. Starting this week, we’ve made it very easy for moderators to actively fight spam by deleting inappropriate content from the “More” tab on any LinkedIn groups’ thread.
I’m excited to announce that starting today, LinkedIn users can share their favorite HuffPost business news articles with their LinkedIn network. As the leading social news site, HuffPost enables communities to share news with their favorite social networking sites. Now, we’ll be extending HuffPost Social News to include the professional community on LinkedIn.
We created the Bump app to make it easier to connect and share with people in the real world. It couldn’t be easier, just bump two phones together and they connect. Millions of people are now bumping their contact information and photos to each other.
But connecting with a new acquaintance on social networks is becoming as or more important than sharing your contact information with them. That is why we are so excited to tell you about a two big new features in Bump 2.0: bump to connect on LinkedIn and bump to find mutual connections on LinkedIn.
