Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of posts on how applications like TripIt are integrating with LinkedIn. Here’s Heather Forsythe from TripIt on how you can share travel plans on LinkedIn.

Have you ever found out that you were in the same city as an old colleague, after it’s too late to make plans? Well, sharing your travel plans with your professional network is now easier than ever when you connect your LinkedIn profile with your TripIt account.

A few weeks ago, we talked about LinkedIn’s native integration with the new Office experience and today we’re happy to share we are a featured partner in Microsoft’s new app store with our new LinkedIn for Outlook app.

We’ve been working closely with Microsoft to make it easy for you to infuse LinkedIn goodness right into your new Outlook experience. With the new LinkedIn for Outlook app we’re offering a few new features that allow professionals to immediately see all the rich insights you have come to expect from LinkedIn, right where you need them most – in your email and calendar.

LinkedIn strives to work where our members work. This means that we want to enable our members to use their LinkedIn identity wherever they may be online. We also want our members to have the ability to tap their professional network to discuss and share what matters most to them whether they’re on or off LinkedIn.com. Over the past year, we’ve been working closely with more than 75k developers to make this possible for our members, by helping developers leverage LinkedIn’s rich technology to build unique and innovative tools for professionals across the Web.

Today, we’d like to share some updates we’ve made to the LinkedIn Developer Platform to continue fostering creative innovations using LinkedIn’s technology. With over 1 million publisher sites already enabling the ability to share content to LinkedIn, we’re now making it even easier for our developer community to use LinkedIn as their main distribution platform for discussing and sharing professional content. Everyday, professionals are coming to LinkedIn to share and discuss what matters most to them and we’re seeing all-time highs of shares originating on LinkedIn.
