- The recent trend for online websites and services is to go mobile, and LinkedIn
wanted to make sure it would be on that train. So, the company announced LinkdIn
Mobile. Luckily for iPhone users there is a version for you as well. LinkedIn
mobile will work on any Web-enabled wireless phone that uses the wireless application
protocol (WAP). That not only includes mobile phones and iPhones, but also BlackBerry
handhelds. To access it, you simply need to point your mobile device to http://m.linkedin.com/. LinkedIn
Mobile features will include the ability to search profiles, research contacts,
invite contacts, and receive network update capabilities. International versions
of LinkedIn Mobile will also be available, including one in French, German, Spanish,
Japanese, and Chinese. There is also a version of LinkedIn Mobile, which has been
created for improved performance on iPhones. Those folks who want to be
networked or LinkedIn also tend to be the same people who are always
on the go. Thats why I am sure that many users of the service were screaming
for a mobile version. Now that they have it, you can bet LinkedIn will be able
to count on some more usage by registered users and probably some new users based
on the attraction of this new mobile version. Back
