Hello,

I would like to request an "Linkedin Connect" component to supplement the current Facebook and Twitter social media connectivity features within the IP. product suite.

Why? I believe that this can benefit various communities, especially professional oriented communities. Note that as of 22 March 2011 Linkedin surpassed 100M users (Source: http://blog.linkedin...in-100-million/) and has a different demographic compared to Facebook and Twitter. Therefore I hope that you will consider adding this social media network to the the IPS software infrastructure.


Kind Regards,

Cogito ergo sum.

Great idea, especially for educational, scientific forums and so on. I would really love this.

+1 from me as well.

Excellent idea.

+ 1 ;)

I would strongly support this idea. It would offer my community (architects) very strong and usefull tool and the product would gain a few extra points against the competitors.

We could definately use this as Job Recruiters on Linkedin.com are registered to post jobs and other offers in our community.

We should have this !

Thank you for your guys input. Furthermore, I believe that there is a bigger demand for this feature than is currently being indicated in this topic therefore I decided to 'bump' this topic.

Bump up again agree with you !

So, when will this be added?

Surely you've been registered here long enough to know that you'll not get an answer to this question?

I thnk some one should make a MOD of it

They seem to have released an API for this http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/sign-linkedin

+1 for this feature, i could really use this as well.....asap ;-)

Nice find Chetan, I hope that IPS sees the same potential as we board administrators see in this feature.

I agree.

Let the two become three.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn would be a perfect harmony.

That's my poem.

+1 for this

We need it...................

Many sites are having the LinkedIn plugin - once added to IPB, it would be a great selling point to admins who are thinking of purchasing the package for their sites. Not mentioning us who have been waiting for this feature for a loong time :)

LinkedIn connectivity would be great!
