As you’ve likely heard by now, we launched our first Twitter integration features at LinkedIn earlier this week. For professionals who want to make Twitter part of their professional identity, you can now easily add your Twitter account to your LinkedIn profile, and seamlessly post LinkedIn status updates to Twitter, and vice-versa.
This launch also brings with it a brand new addition to the LinkedIn application platform: Tweets.

The LinkedIn Intelligent Application Platform is all about surfacing LinkedIn where you need and want it most. Writing or reading an email? LinkedIn should be there, providing context between you and your contacts.
Xobni is an ideal remedy to the pursuit of context — and now with Xobni’s LinkedIn integration, you can find out everything you need to know about a contact before hitting that Send button: The company they work for, their profile picture, and the rich metadata about your history with them.

So you’re reading an article on your favorite news site about an exciting new development in your field. It’s crucial that your colleagues read and discuss this article. What if there was an easy way to share the article with your LinkedIn network?
In April, Jen and Eishay told you how to share an article with your LinkedIn network. Today I’m going to tell you another way you can use LinkedIn News Share.

A few days ago, I blogged about the launch of the LinkedIn’s Company Insider Widget. With a few lines of code, this JavaScript widget allows you to provide contextual relevance on companies to any reader of your site. In addition to sites like BusinessWeek and CIO Magazine, starting today, you will also see it installed on CrunchBase.
The Company Insider widget is a natural fit to a site like Crunchbase, a free directory of technology companies, people, and
investors that belongs to the TechCrunch family of sites. So, as you click through any of the 4460 companies listed on Crunchbase you should be able to see pertinent information such as the number of people in that company who are connected to you on LinkedIn.- Topics:

I’m happy to announce the availability of LinkedIn’s Company Insider widget, the first in a family of widgets coming your way this year.
This is a secure and easy way to provide contextual information about companies on your blog or news site to bring your readers closer to the companies you write about, on your job board to connect your users with people they may know at a company, or in any other way you see fit.
