LinkedIn Is Sending Us Far More Referral

LinkedIn Is Sending Us Far More Referral : Flipboard on Thursday released an update that adds several new features designed to help you find an even greater amount of content when within its popular iPad app. That includes a new content guide for browsing sources, a social search bar, a new one-tap interaction that lets readers quickly dive into articles, and LinkedIn compatibility.Users can now tap the red ribbon at the top of Flipboard's interface to open a new Content Guide that lets them access favorite sources, a search bar, popular social networks, expanded categories, and curated sections. The Content Guide not only provides an anchor from wherever you are in Flipboard, but it also regularly updates with new sources and recommended reading (such as The New Yorker and National Geographic).
Flipboard launched with Facebook and Twitter compatibility, but now LinkedIn joins the app's social networking circle. By logging in with your LinkedIn account, you can view the links that other LinkedIn users are sharing and reading in LinkedIn Today. Readers can also view more than 30 LinkedIn Today industry sections including real estate, retail, pharmaceuticals, and higher education.
"We want to enable professionals to be great at what they do and LinkedIn is surfacing relevant and timely news to help our members make smarter business decisions everyday," said Deep Nishar, senior vice president of Products and User Experience at LinkedIn. "Mobile professionals are using applications like Flipboard daily to consume news, so it makes sense for us to bring LinkedIns unique professional lens on news to this audience."
This latest Flipboard update also highlights popular stories in each section based on how often readers interact with them—user interest now plays a factor. The app remains free of charge in the iTunes App Store.
