And becomes more useful!

LinkedIn has always been a great business-focused social network. I’ve managed to get some great connections and contracts through LinkedIn.

And now, there are more ways to interact with your network and community.

The new LinkedIn applications let you interact in a bigger, better way with your network. Options include:

Work collaboratively with your network:

  • Box on LinkedIn: Share files and collaborate with your network.
  • Huddle on LinkedIn: Private workspaces to collaborate with your network on projects.
  • Share information and keep up to date with your network:

  • Amazon on LinkedIn: Discover what your network is reading.
  • TripIt on LinkedIn: See where your network is traveling.
  • SixApart on LinkedIn: Stay up to date with your network’s latest blog posts.
  • Present yourself and your work in new ways:

  • Google Docs on LinkedIn: Embed a presentation on your profile.
  • SlideShare on LinkedIn: Share, view and comment on presentations from your network.
  • WordPress on LinkedIn: Promote your blog and latest posts.
  • Gain key insights that will make you more effective:

  • Company Buzz by LinkedIn: See what people are saying about your company. [source: LinkedIn]
