LinkedIn via RSS

I do LinkedIn but I don’t Facebook. However, thanks to this post on LinkedIn Vs Facebook I found out LinkedIn have added a personal RSS feed to the startup page. That’s cool!

Log into LinkedIn and click on the RSS icon by “Network Updates”. It will generate a feed link to add to your RSS Reader.

Yeah, Facebook is mostly populated with teens. Good thing Linkedln has been adding more cool features.

Hi Franco, I haven't done Facebook as didn't like the "must sign up to see" aspect. LinkedIn has been useful to me, seems to have become popular at work too, and I've helped a few others out using it. It's good to see them adding new features.

I believe that LinkedIn is getting more and more popular and effective as business network. I've been on Facebook and I find irritating the teenager style of the website and of style of communication there (I guess this mostly because I'm not a teen anymore...).
After being on LinkedIn for a few years, I noticed that they are finally adding a set of new features, such as the personal RSS, to make the social network even more effective.

I just added a link to the LinkedIn profile to each blogger on Novedge Pulse and I'm waiting for them to release the new API in order to make an even better integration (or should a say mashup to impress your blog readers?).
