LinkedIn: “Today we’re announcing a partnership between LinkedIn and Twitter – and new features that we think are going to make both Twitter and LinkedIn more powerful for you. These new features will be rolling out gradually over the next couple of days. – The idea is simple: When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing. And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool.”
NYT: “Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn’s chief executive, said that he wants LinkedIn to be the hub for all professional conversation. 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, he said. – What does the partnership mean for Twitter? It will have broader reach, particularly in the professional sphere, which is important because Twitter plans to make money by helping businesses make the most of the service. But whether and how the partnership will be an immediate source of revenue for Twitter is unclear.”
TC: “Professional social network LinkedIn has long had a feature that lets users update their status on their profile. But it’s plainly obvious that LinkedIn users don’t nearly use the status feature for mass communication as frequently as they use Twitter or Facebook for the same purpose. In fact, I surveyed a sampling of LinkedIn users who avidly use the site for networking but never update their status on their profile. Many didn’t even know that LinkedIn had a status update feature.”
VB: “Sending status updates to LinkedIn also fits in with Twitter’s distribution strategy. Rather than trying to keep status updates within their network, they’ve syndicated them out to others like MySpace and AOL. (Twitter can also publish tweets into Facebook’s stream, but Facebook will not allow its status updates to go the other way into Twitter.)”
Mashable: “The deal makes sense for both sides; in fact, we’re surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Whether they’ll be able to expand upon this partnership, we have yet to see. However, the potential for lucrative business intelligence and data exchange is likely going to be too much for both companies to pass up.”
