LinkedIn Applications for Business and Functionality

LinkedIn Applications

Launched October 28, 2008, LinkedIn has some cool new applications available to enhance your profile in many ways. Keep in mind that they are still very new and there might be some glitches, but it looks promising. I like the fact that they aren’t trying to roll out a million applications like Facebook has…OK, a little exaggeration there, but you know what I mean.

So, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to be an early adopter, give ‘em a try.  Please let me know how they work out for you. I’d love to share your experience and thoughts with others.

    The Reading app was extremely easy to add. I’m watching the others trying to see which ones really apply to me. Which ones have you used?

    I like the perpetual changing ‘update’ from a business angle.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Hi JudyAnn!

    I tried out Blog Link, but switched to the WordPress app. Google Presentation looks way cool and I can see it as a great opportunity to create a presentation about your business, like a little sales video. I might try that one next.
