LinkedIn Decade of Innovation

Professional Networking Site LinkedIn completes 10 years! 
A decade of innovative solution and networking globally.

I personally have been a big fan of them since they started and able to connect with some of the finest professionals around the world in Information Technology industry. Their platform enabled me to learn more about executive profiles, reaching them with focused messages, helping them understand my organization's background even before talking.

I sure hope that LinkedIn would continue to innovate and provide world class services in many years to come. Wishing them continued success and Kudos to all those men and women who burn the midnight oil behind the scenes to make this happen.

LinkedIn Says Don't Just Say, Display It !

Popular professional networking site LinkedIn enhanced its profile features for the its users with the addition of visual display medium. Great feature indeed!  

A LinkedIn user can include photo, video, presentations and the like to their profiles to showcase the capabilities and background. I have been noticing the changes LinkedIn has been making in the past few months to improve their front end appeal. 

"From the analyst who makes annual predictions on tech trends to the 3D animator who is looking to fund a new short film, the opportunities are limitless for how professionals can now use the LinkedIn profile to help showcase these unique stories in a visual way," LinkedIn product manager Udi Milo wrote.

To get started, select "edit" on the profile page, then follow prompts in the "Summary," "Experience," and "Education" sections. Content can be uploaded from your own computer or from other websites.

In an effort to keep up with the social aspect of LinkedIn, members are encouraged to "like" and discuss each other's work. The new visual content feature is currently rolling out to users in English-speaking countries.

Here is more information on these new features from LinkedIn Product Manager Udi Milo wrote in their blog post.
