Today we are excited to announce the launch of the new LinkedIn share button. Now, with just a few lines of code, publishers, bloggers, and businesses can easily include a button on their site that lets readers and visitors “Share on LinkedIn”.
Each time we update our iPhone application we like to focus on making improvements to existing features that are heavily used as well as providing new functionality. In this latest release, we have focused our efforts in two areas:
In the past few weeks, we’ve begun sharing relevant LinkedIn news, events and video coverage through our @linkedinnews twitter account. For those of you who want more than just a scoop, we’re also starting a blog series that will highlight recent press on LinkedIn events. This is the first of many such posts.
On Wednesday, our CEO Jeff Weiner sat down with John Battelle at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. We thought we’d share with you both the video interview along with some of the related coverage and video snippets. The interview itself is about 30 minutes long (embedded below) but it covers a wide variety of topics – from our company’s growth to Jeff’s vision for the next wave of the global economy — the Talent Economy.
When we created iSell, our goal was to transform sales by delivering all of the information a salesperson needs in one clean and easy-to-use application. Who is the hottest prospect? When should I call them? What is happening with them? How do I reach them? With iSell, we have created a tool that answers all of these questions.
While we have received great feedback on iSell, we are always seeking to make it better. The folks at LinkedIn believe that every business application would be fundamentally better if it was built over a platform of your professional reputation and relationships. We couldn’t agree more. iSell is now the most complete integration of a trigger-based sales application with the LinkedIn API to allow its users to perform optimized prospecting and relationship networking in one step.
As a company that does more than 50% of its business online, Dell understands we are in a new era of e-commerce and shoppers have fundamentally changed their buying behaviors.
At Dell, we also see this shift towards social commerce as an incredible opportunity to continue building more powerful relationships with our customers. As a pioneer in the online space, we’ve been active in social commerce and support for some time with our Ratings & Reviews site housed on Dell.com, our activity on Twitter and Business Solutions Exchange group on LinkedIn – all places where customers can easily share experiences and learn from the knowledge of their peers.
