As a company that’s based on the mantra “Relationships Matter”; we want to make it easier than ever for you to find, organize and stay in touch with your business connections. Over the next few weeks, you will start seeing improvements to your LinkedIn address book that will help you be more productive. Feature details after the jump.
A couple of months ago, I blogged about enhancements to LinkedIn’s address book that allow you to add address book information, ranging from phone numbers to private notes. Now you can add, view and edit that information right on your connections’ profiles.
Many of you are probably aware of LinkedIn Groups’ feature enhancements that we announced earlier today. In addition to those changes I’d also like to point out another much requested upgrade that launched today – one that impacts LinkedIn’s Address Book.
Starting today, we’ve made changes that allow you greater flexibility in managing your LinkedIn connections. Here are two easy steps to edit your contacts’ information on LinkedIn.
Recently, you may have noticed some small changes in the way LinkedIn handles geographic locations, including an enhanced People Search for the US, UK and Canada. With this week’s release, we’ve significantly improved this effort by migrating 14 other countries to this new system, including Germany, France and India. With this expansion, we’ve also integrated geography into various features throughout the site. Let’s have a look… Jobs Radius Search
Now, when you search for jobs around a specific postal code, you’ll find all jobs within a 25 mile (40 km) radius of that postal code. On the advanced job search page, you can narrow or broaden this radius depending on your commuting requirements. This is a significant improvement from our previous system, especially outside of the US, and we hope job seekers will find this feature useful.
We’ve recently launched a new feature on user profile pages, which makes it easier to build your network with people you already know.
Here’s how it works:
From a person’s profile page, click on the ‘Add [person's name] to your network’ link.
