Because syncing
with Twitter wasn’t enough, professional social network LinkedIn has
taken further steps to increase the site’s social sharing aspect for
SMBs and business professionals. As of yesterday, sharing
news on LinkedIn got a whole lot easier with the adoption of a
bunch of new site features. Here’s a look at the best of what’s new.
Better Controls
One of the most useful parts of Facebook has always been the ability to control which members of your network have access to which information. For example, you could set your filters so that your family and professional contacts were seeing different items and updates. LinkedIn has finally adopted this feature, giving users’ complete control over who sees which updates – whether it’s everyone, specific connections, a group you belong to or a specific user. Depending on how you use your LinkedIn statuses, this can be a really powerful way to target individual pieces of content toward the right audience. It gets rid of that firehouse effect that we often get trying to share information in social networking and ciphers directly into the group you’re most interested in reaching. This is a nice add from LinkedIn.
