Here's a post that I just couldn't resist.  LinkedIn.com has announced some really cool new features to their site.  Up until now, I think many have just considered this site to be a place to have a profile, an on-line resume', or the place to be if you're anybody in any business.  I think most members on ActiveRain are probably on LinkedIn already, and if not, should be.

Just today, I have already incorporated two of their new features to my LinkedIn profile which is now a syndicated site to host my Blogs and other more useful information.  I just added the ability to have posts from my various Blogs show up right on the profile. Check out BlogLink. You can even have Google Docs and presentations there. 

Here's some of the other items they've added that you can include:

Box: Collaborate and share files with your friends and network.

Huddle: Create private work areas to share projects.

Amazon: Find out what the rest of your network is reading.

TripIt: Check out and follow your traveling network.

SixApart: Keep up to date with your networks latest posts.

Google Docs: Add and embed presentations on your profile page.

SlideShare: View, comment, and share presentations.

WordPress: Promote your latest WordPress Posts.

CompanyBuzz: See what others are saying about your Company.

I haven't had the chance to setup and try or test all of these yet, but at least we know that LinkedIn is trying hard to become more than just a place to host your Resume' and Profile.  They've built that reputation to some extent, and now looks like they might be trying and live up to the their name instead.  LinkedIn. 

I personally like what they've done.  That means this post should appear on  my LinkedIn profile now. (once you're logged in)  Don't forget to add YOUR AR Blogs there too.

Dana - awesome. Being LinkedIn is just one more way to have your information out there for your clients and future clients to find.  They are constantly adding and growing the network everyday.  I have some great business associates on LinkedIn, and that's the only place we communicate now.  I can't get them over to facebook or twitter, how funny is that?  :-)

Like many of the others commenting, I have been on Linkedin for a few months, but basically only have my profile on there.  I am glad to hear that you can add your blog posts, now it's just a matter of me figuring out how.

Troy - thanks for the comment and for the connect on LinkedIn.  Just go to your profile on LinkedIn, then click on "apps" on the left hand side after you're logged in.  There are many other apps there too. Have fun...   :-)

Hi Brad - I just completed a social media marketing class where they talked about the importance of a great LinkedIn profile but failed to mention the applications.  I'm headed over there now.  Thanks!
