LinkedIn launched their first Twitter integration in November 2009, dragging the “professional” site to play nicer with other social networks. Since then, over one million LinkedIn members have taken the opportunity to add their Twitter accounts to their LinkedIn profile.
Now LinkedIn takes the connection a step further by allowing you to find your connections who are on Twitter and then interact, all within the (somewhat ugly) LinkedIn interface. Support for Twitter Lists is included…have you started your “LinkedIn Twitter List”?
Starting today, LinkedIn’s Tweets application will allow LinkedIn members to easily find and keep track of their LinkedIn connections on both LinkedIn and Twitter.
If you haven’t installed Tweets yet, you can add it by going to the Tweets install page. Once you’ve installed the Tweets application, you can easily access it from anywhere on LinkedIn using the “More…” menu at the top of the website. After installing, it took LinkedIn/Twitter a few minutes to display my connections properly, but worked like a charm afterwards.
