LinkedIn – the popular business networking site – has launched a new feature whereby users may save profiles of potential contacts in an easily managed Profile Organizer. Previously, adding a contact involved several steps and was not especially user-friendly. Thus, the idea is to make LinkedIn more appealing to those who are on-the-go.
Several users have found this to be quite useful as the “notes” tool provides a quick and easy way to jot down comments regarding potential business contacts. These notes can then be reviewed before meetings or conferences to keep track of past discussions and behavioural characteristics! The downside? You need to have a paid version of LinkedIn to benefit from this useful tool.
The blogs featured on this week’s BAMroll offer opinions on LinkedIn’s newest feature.
Duct Tape Marketing Blog offers great insight into the development. They delve into the differences between researching and contacting when using LinkedIn’s tools and explain the benefits of this improvement.
WebProNews Blog explains the Profile Organizer and even offers a video introduction to the feature. Moreover, they offer explanations from LinkedIn’s Elizabeth Reaves about the feature and its usability.
See you next week!
