LinkedIn announced this week a new Tweets application that allows LinkedIn members to easily find and keep track of their LinkedIn connections on Twitter. Some of the new features:
- View Twitter feed directly from LinkedIn account.
- You can easily create a Twitter list of LinkedIn connections. More importantly, LinkedIn will automatically keep this list up-to-date, adding and removing Twitter accounts to the list daily based on your LinkedIn connections.
- New “Connections” tab allows you to view which LinkedIn connections you follow on Twitter, with the ability to follow new connections directly from the LinkedIn interface. When we first started using this feature this week, it was not working properly — the connections were not displaying. Looks like they’re still working out the bugs!
To start using these features, you need to install the Tweets application, which literally took less than 10 seconds.
Once you’ve installed the Tweets application, you can easily access it from anywhere on LinkedIn using the “More…” menu at the top of the website. The Overview tab has been updated with an improved design to help you easily find everyone you currently follow on Twitter, view their Twitter feed, and tweet from your own account.
We believe this is a great improvement for LinkedIn that may increase its “stickiness” and certainly its usefulness as a social media hub.
