Over the next few days LinkedIn and Twitter will be bringing business status tweeting (or microblogging) into the next level as they work together.
It looks like you’ll be able to separate the important tweets about business from the more personal tweets about lunch, which has been one of the big negatives expressed about Twitter by business followers. The way to do that is add #in (hashtag or pound symbol with the letter “i” “n”) to your tweets on Twitter when you want them to appear on LinkedIn. You’ll have to go to LinkedIn and activate it.
In the same way, you can add #fb to the tweets you want to appear on your Facebook account and you’ll have to activate it on Facebook.
Likewise I would imagine that LinkedIn will have much more functionality in the here and now. They’ve always seemed a bit behind both Facebook and Twitter with their applications.
For instance, you can only post one profile photo on LinkedIn and a logo for your company. Where’s the video? Photo gallery?
