Have you ever connected with freelancers or consultants on LinkedIn and immediately had to start working with them?

You can now do that for free with our Projects and Teamspaces application for LinkedIn. You can eliminate hundreds of emails per month by using this integration. Instead of digging around for the action items from the last meeting or which version of the document to review, just go to your LinkedIn Projects and Teamspaces to view all your work activity neatly organized.

Ed. note: Since we launched Company Pages we’ve been overwhelmed with the response from companies and small businesses. Today’s post is from Daniel Debow, co-CEO of Rypple, social software that helps you stay on track, be more connected and learn faster at work.

If your company is not focused on building a community of delighted customers, it’s time to rethink your growth strategy. Social networks give customers both a voice and a platform to share what they really think of your service or product.

In this environment, we were really excited to be one of the first users on LinkedIn’s recently launched Company Pages. In recent times, knowledge workers have begun using social technologies at work for knowledge sharing both within and across peer networks. We think LinkedIn’s Company Pages is a perfect example of such a social tool that helps amplify word of mouth for companies.  It’s still early days, but here’s what we’ve found so far (after the jump).

Our Linkedin application, eBookshelf by FT Press helps busy professionals find trustworthy information and answers quickly to help them do their job better and advance their career.  We’ve developed a series of over 500 shorts – essential reading for business success that covers a wide variety of networking topics.

Ed. note: This belongs to a series of posts on how numerous websites and services are integrating LinkedIn functionality. This post is from Carlton Dyce, VP of Peer Review Ratings and Client Review Services at LexisNexis on their recently launched lawyer ratings application on LinkedIn.

As one of the first sites to use LinkedIn’s API, we knew early on the importance of legal professionals being able to find connections to gain new referrals from both broad networking sites like LinkedIn as well as from our own professional networking community – martindale.com® Connected.

I often hear that people need additional, credible, third-party information (including ratings) to supplement the self-reported credentials supplied in online lawyer profiles. One of the most comprehensive and trusted of those ratings programs is our Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™ program. Along with our recently launched Client Review Ratings, both programs give the quantitative and qualitative data that helps to provide a true “apples-to-apples” comparison opportunity to augment valuable Recommendations received on LinkedIn.
