LinkedIn and Twitter change how they work together.
LinkedIn – the global network for professionals – has tweaked its 3 year old integration of Twitter, to comply with Twitter’s new policies.
According to the LinkedIn blog:
“If you had previously synced your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, and selected the option to share Tweets on LinkedIn, those Tweets generated from Twitter will no longer appear on LinkedIn. There will be no other changes to your LinkedIn experience.”
In other words, Tweets won’t appear on LinkedIn but the opposite would be possible, using the following method:
“Initiate the conversation on LinkedIn. Simply compose your update, check the box with the Twitter icon, and click “Share.” This will automatically push your update to both your LinkedIn connections and your Twitter followers just as you’ve been able to do previously.”
Definitely not a big loss for LinkedIn, whose users are regarded to be less of the chatting conversationalist type and more connection seekers.
