Both Twitter and LinkedIn are great for networking with professionals, co-workers and business associates. But rather than flipping between the two networks, they’ve made it easy to connect to one another in order to leverage both at the same time. Here’s how.
LinkedIn has a dedicated Twitter application which allows for quick and easy integration of your Twitter account into your LinkedIn profile.Housed in the LinkedIn learning center, the Twitter app enables users to post their LinkedIn status to their Twitter followers, their tweets to their LinkedIn network, or both.
The app allows very fine-grain control over which tweets/LinkedIn statuses you share with your other network.
You can choose to share all of your tweets as LinkedIn status updates, or only those which contain the hashtags #in or #li – a great way to automatically select tweets to share without having to copy and paste each tweet manually. The app also allows users to tweet LinkedIn status updates on their Twitter account.
And the app even has those overly-indulgent content sharers in mind: you can hide any individual’s LinkedIn status updates from your home stream just by hovering over one of their updates and clicking “hide”. This is great if someone is pushing all of their 20+ daily tweets to LinkedIn.
Another useful feature of this LinkedIn Twitter app is the insight into which of your LinkedIn connections you are currently following on Twitter, and which ones you are not following. It’s a great idea to dig into this number on the “Connections” tab on LinkedIn, and follow anyone who you aren’t already following on Twitter. This can serve to strengthen your professional network on both LinkedIn and Twitter.
In addition to (or as an alternative to) following your LinkedIn connections on Twitter, you could create a Twitter list that you update with each new LinkedIn connection. This will show you all of the Twitter updates from your LinkedIn network without cluttering up your home timeline.

LinkedIn Ups Price Of IPO To $42 To $45 Per Share, Valuation Now Over $4 Billion
Wow. According to this filing, professional social network LinkedIn has just upped the pricing of its IPO from between $32 and $35 per share to $42 to $45 per share. This latest pricing, which marks a 30 percent increase, values the company at over $4 billion (from a $3 billion plus valuation at the previous price).
LinkedIn is still offering a total of 7,840,000 shares and is looking to raise as much as $406 million in the offering. LinkedIn says it will use these funds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures. The funds could also be used for acquisitions or investments in complimentary technologies.
The professional social network is set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange this Thursday, under the symbol LNKD.
Clearly, LinkedIn is upping the price of the offering because its expects that Wall Street will respond to this increase positively. As we wrote yesterday, LinkedIn is growing revenue—the company just reported that Q1 revenue in 2011 was up 110 percent to $93.9 million. Net income increased to $2.08 million, from $1.81 million in Q1 2010. The increase in sales came from the company’s hiring solutions, a paid offering which helps recruiters search for professionals and list jobs on the site. But the question is whether LinkedIn can accelerate this revenue growth.
But Chinese social networking giant RenRen flopped in its public offering, pricing its IPO at $14 per share. Unfortunately, shares dropped below this offering price shortly after trading began on the NYSE.
It's amazing how quick Linkedin is expanding!!
