Link Your LinkedIn and Twitter Accounts

Filed Under LinkedIn 

LinkedIn and Twitter just announced a new partnership that will integrate the two social sites. Essentially, the new integration enables you to share your LinkedIn status updates on Twitter and to send your tweets to your LinkedIn connections. Fortunately, you do have some control over what you share and with whom you share it.

To get started, go to the Edit My Profile page on LinkedIn and click the Add Twitter Account link (you can also access this from the Account & Settings page). Indicate whether you want to display your Twitter account on your profile and whether you want to send all your tweets to LinkedIn or only those you specify with the #in hashtag (#li also works).

Now when you post a tweet on Twitter, it appears as a status update on LinkedIn. If you choose to share only selected tweets, you’ll see the hashtag at the end of your update.

If you want to change these settings at any time, just go back to the Edit My Profile page to edit or remove your Twitter integration.

    Patrice, you are always right on top of things. I’ll be mentioning this post in my newsletter and yes!!! Tweeting it and letting it do double duty on Linked In. Thank you for letting me know! (-:
