I just received a notice from LinkedIn announcing their integration with Twitter. I immediately added both my Twitter accounts to my LinkedIn profile.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Sign in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Click “Account & Settings” (in the upper righthand area of your screen).
3. Under “Profile Settings” click “Twitter Settings.”
4. Click “Add a Twitter Account.” Make sure you are logged in to the Twitter account that you want to integrate with LinkedIn, and click the button to give LinkedIn access to your Twitter stream.
You can integrate multiple Twitter accounts with LinkedIn.
5. Decide whether you want to share all your Tweets on LinkedIn, or only those with the hashtag #in or #li (which indicates that those tweets are of particular interest to your LinkedIn followers).
6. Click “Save” and then zip back to your profile to see how it looks.
Your LinkedIn profile will display your Twitter stream in the righthand column of your profile (mine didn’t show up right away, but it appeared within a day or two). You can edit your feed to make it visible to:
- Nobody
- My Connections
- My Network
- Everyone
Whenever you share an update with your LinkedIn network, you can choose whether to tweet it.
Of course, you can follow LinkedIn on Twitter: @linkedin or read the LinkedIn blog.
While you’re at it, let’s connect on LinkedIn! You’ll find me at http://www.linkedin.com/in/laurachristianson. When you add me to your network, please let me know you found me via this blog post.
