This morning LinkedIn sent out an email regarding their
newest “test” platform, publishing.
“We're offering our
members a powerful new way to build their professional brand — publishing on
LinkedIn. When a member publishes a post on LinkedIn, their original content
becomes part of their professional profile, is shared with their trusted
network, and has the ability to reach the world's largest group of
professionals. “
From what I can gather, this is more of an archive, so that
you are able to access more than just your last ten posts. Additionally, it is long-form format so you
can say even more. The feature is still
in the testing phase and LinkedIn is asking people to sign up initially. Just for fun, I did so. However, I am reluctant
and think this might be a short lived addition to the Linked In menu. Blogs provide the same features and it is
just as easy to post a link from your blog as it is to provide content directly
to Linked In.
What do you think?
Useful feature?

access here.
