LinkedIn And Microsoft Outlook Hook Up

You're back! Be sure to follow me on Twitter before leaving.

LinkedIn has just released an MS Outlook plugin that adds your LinkedIn account to your daily life! If anything, this will encourage more regular use of my profile on there.

Here’s what they’re saying:

Keep track of what your LinkedIn connections are working on and thinking about –See the latest activity for any LinkedIn connection who e-mails you right at the bottom of that e-mail. See who they are connecting with, the articles they are reading and sharing, and the questions they are asking and answering. If they have a Profile Photo, you’ll see that too.

Get the latest contact information for your professional connections – E-mail addresses, profile details, and photos from your LinkedIn connections will start appearing in an Outlook Contacts folder named “LinkedIn” – so now you’ll always have the latest contact information from LinkedIn close at hand. You’ll also be able to e-mail your LinkedIn connections by just typing their name into the Outlook “To:” box and letting Outlook fill-in the rest.

Grow your LinkedIn network with ease – Click the green “Add” icon next to any email sender to easily invite them to join your professional network on LinkedIn.
