Since we launched Company Follow in April, we’ve had over 30 million professionals now following over 1 million companies either as job seekers, employees, partners and suppliers or just followers.
With the next iteration of Company Follow we’d like to provide followers additional access to the company’s profile of record as well as offer companies more flexibility in what they choose to share with their followers. Here are the three biggest changes you’ll see with the latest version of Company Follow:
We’re pleased to announce, that starting today you can connect Messenger and your Windows Live profile to LinkedIn. LinkedIn features in Hotmail will start to roll out today and over the course of the next 3 weeks, depending on your location.
We love LinkedIn’s tag line, “Relationships Matter,” because at Windows Live, our goal is to create great experiences that keep you connected with the people who matter most.
Did you know a new member joins LinkedIn approximately every second? All of these people could use their LinkedIn credentials to login to your website, share your content to their LinkedIn network and even post comments on your article or blog posts using their professional identity. In February, we made it easy for websites to offer sign-ups using LinkedIn accounts and in May, we added the ability to share user activity on a site with their connections on LinkedIn. Today, we are excited to announce several feature enhancements to Janrain Engage’s LinkedIn support utilizing LinkedIn’s new Share APIs.
When a user posts from your website back to their LinkedIn professional network, Janrain now passes richer content: an image thumbnail, the user’s title, the URL from your site and a description.
