LinkedIn Today: Tour What This Service Can Do for You

11.03.2011

Visit or click the News tab from your LinkedIn homepage to access it. Note that not everyone's "LinkedIn Today" front page will look the same. The stories are aggregated based on the industries with which you are associated or have expressed interest.

The main story at the top is the most-shared story within the LinkedIn community. For some, you'll see when the post was first shared, in which industries it's trending and which of your first and second connections have posted it. Below the main story are the other top stories that you can browse.

In the photo thumbnail of the story, you'll see a blue button with a number--in this case, 772--which denotes how many people on LinkedIn have shared the story. Clicking the number will open a page where you can drill down on and filter who shared the story, what they're saying, their company or industry and from where they are.
