LinkedIn, the social network for professionals is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to mention and hyperlink people as well as companies in their status updates & conversations.
The Facebook-style tool will allow you to mention and hyperlink the contacts present in your network. The feature will suggest you a name from a drop-down menu, the moment you begin to type it.
LinkedIn has a healthy membership of 175 million or so members and to ensure they can connect and network better, the social network has redesigned its profile pages. These pages will ensure that networking and connecting will be made smoother for all on the network including the 175,000 new user profiles being created every day. Profile pages are central to the social network’s functioning as they form the basis of people’s decision to make connect or move on.
LinkedIn has announced the roll out of a new notifications feature to allow users real time connectivity. The new feature will allow users to see a flag and an envelope icon at the top of the homepage whenever there is a comment/like on a post, profile views, accepted and new invitations etc. And whenever a new activity happens, a red circle would show up.
In the social media sea, LinkedIn is considered to be the truly ‘professional networking platform’. Company pages always existed on the network; however, it was only recently that LinkedIn announced an update to company pages facilitating companies and small businesses to become more engaged on the network.
