A few days ago LinkedIn and Twitter announced a partnership to bring tweets to LinkedIn. This means that LinkedIn’s 51 million members will now be able to send status updates – such as the fact that they’re hiring – to Twitter on a case-by-case basis, and vice versa. This way the LinkedIn updates will show up in real time searches like Twitter Search and Bing. Users will also be able to add a section to their LinkedIn profile that contains their latest tweets and view other people’s tweets when searching LinkedIn. And when they tweet, users can send the message to their LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool.
According to The New York Times, LinkedIn’s chief executive, Jeff Weiner aims for LinkedIn to be the hub for professional conversation. He says that integrating tweets into LinkedIn will help them find a home where they will become part of someone’s professional identity, and conversations will develop around them.
