10th March - 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. That’s 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.
