Today, we are very happy to announce that we are opening up full access to LinkedIn’s new platform for building the professional web.

Every month, our company celebrates “InDay”, a day when LinkedIn employees from around the world are encouraged to spend their time focused on research, learning and developing concepts outside of their normal routine. For employees who like to learn through execution, we throw a Hackday contest on every InDay.
This concept began with an impromptu hackday held over the 2007 holiday break and has now grown to a company-wide event (including an American Idol style panel of judges). Teams are given just five minutes to demo their hack in front of the entire company, and judges get just two minutes to ask questions.

In November 2009, LinkedIn launched our first Twitter integration features. Since then, over one million LinkedIn members have taken the opportunity to add their Twitter accounts to their LinkedIn profile.
One of the most common requests we receive is for help finding relevant professionals to follow on Twitter. I’m happy to post that starting today, we’ll be rolling out a significant improvement to our Tweets application that allows LinkedIn members to easily find and keep track of their LinkedIn connections on both LinkedIn and Twitter.
