LinkedIn, the world’s largest B2B professional network, has recently
received much media attention for seeking public funding to the tune of $175
million.
But this isn’t the only important news about LinkedIn. Recently, the
professional networking giant released eight exciting user-friendly features
aimed at more closely aligning the LinkedIn experience with upgrades users have
begged for.
What does this mean for you? If you’re not yet a LinkedIn member, you’d
better get busy. If your half-baked profile is routinely ignored, rethink your
branding strategy. Chances are, your competition is already way ahead of you.
LinkedIn released the Company page feature in 2008, but only recently made
modifications that got people talking about it. Available analytics were also
upgraded, allowing users to more accurately measure overall network activity
and growth.
8 New LinkedIn Features
1. Linkable banner advertising- link to your website, blog, etc.
2. Video support for the Company page
3. Network Recommendations displayed on your Company page
4. “Follow Us on LinkedIn” button- for website, blog, etc.
5. Blog posts uploaded to Company page
6. Client Recommendations, straight from your website to your
Company page
7. Tighter monitoring functions for Group moderators
8. LinkedIn share button- similar to Facebook share button
With more than one million LinkedIn Company pages in existence, promoting
more than 50,000 products and services, the Company page field becomes more
crowded each day. Are you taking full advantage of every available feature for
your Company page?
If you’re not using LinkedIn yet, why not?
Once upon a time, LinkedIn was merely another place to park your resume.
Those days are gone. If you need help optimizing your profile, building a
dynamic Company page, promoting your products and services within the network,
