Staying on top of industry news is something we think matters for any professional whose success depends on being well informed. With all the news websites, blogs, tweets and newsletters out there, staying in-the-know can be time consuming and it’s increasingly hard to figure out what matters most when reading news across multiple sources.
We’re very excited to announce the launch of LinkedIn Today, which delivers the day’s top news, tailored to you based on what your connections and industry peers are reading and sharing. If you only have five minutes to catch up on news, LinkedIn Today can help you cut through all the clutter, so you can discover the top headlines you need to read to be better informed everyday.
The live broadcast has concluded and you can read all about the news product we just announced – LinkedIn Today.
The live broadcast will start at 8:30AM Pacific today (March 10th, 2011). Please standby. – Ed.
This year, social media adoption by enterprise organizations is set to again grow exponentially. This is particularly important in the financial services segment, which is very much a relationship business.
Yet up until now, there have been barriers to using social media effectively and safely. Our research shows 33% of financial professionals have a LinkedIn account, but only 11% say they use it for business with the primary concern being around compliance requirements. We heard these frustrations and built Hearsay Social from the ground up to provide a social media marketing and compliance solution for financial services.
Ed. note: This post is a part of our continuing blog series featuring the secret lives of our colleagues. Here, we hear from our very own Michael Nguyen – a Food & Employee Services manager – whose passion for the food industry led him from his finance cubicle at LinkedIn to the task of managing LinkedIn’s growing culinary needs.
