LinkedIn has recently added some new features to its platform. After some messing around with the functionality, I’ve come across some pretty cool things you can do with your profile. What I like the most is the new Company Buzz provided by Twitter.
So for all you Twitter people out there, you can get your tweets to show up on your profile and home page on LinkedIn. Follow these steps:
1. Log into LinkedIn.
2. Click on Applications on the left hand side.
3. Click on the Company Buzz (powered by Twitter) on the Applications page.
4. Install the Company Buzz application.
5. Mark the check boxes Display on My Profile and Display on My Home Page, located on the right hand side.
6. Type in your Twitter ID in the field on the left hand side and click the Add button.
7. Any tweets tagged with your Twitter ID will show up on LinkedIn.
Check out my profile as an example.
