Re: How To Share Documents on LinkedIn

Jerry,

This function is no longer available on LinkedIn. Look for the paper clip in the status update box and you can upload the document directly into LinkedIn. You can also upload it as a pdf into SlideShare and share that link in the status update. Since LinkedIn owns SlideShare, it now favors it over Box.

Ok, I am looking for the more menu and can't find it anywhere on LinkedIn. Can you help??

I've actually never run into that issue. Do you know if those people are trying to access it from their corporate office? I have seen corporate computer security systems that block or limit access to the applications in LinkedIn. It's really strange. I remember being in one of my Wells Fargo client's offices and looking at my own profile wondering where in the heck my applications went, when I realized it was a security system blocking them from loading. I have heard of other levels of such security to prevent the downloading of files in case they have some sort of virus or malware because the systems often can't scan it first.

I love testing some of this stuff out, so if you have a specific situation that we can try and duplicate to figure out the problem, then I'm game. Just let me know.

Re: Why You Shouldn’t Use Twitter to Post LinkedIn Status Updates

At this point, LinkedIn isn't allowing any other social network or social media dashboard to post directly to the Company Page status updates. It has to be completely manual.

For new Company Pages, there is no way to tie outgoing status updates to a Twitter account anymore, but older Company Pages from the earlier platform that had Twitter integration automatically post out to the Twitter account that was attached to it and there's no way to stop it. Strange, but true.

Believe me, I am waiting not so patiently for the ability to post Company Page status updates through an API because I do use a dashboard. If you connect with me or follow my Company Page on LinkedIn, you'll know as soon as I do because I will be shouting it to the high heavens:-)

Wish I could be of more help.

Crystal - Thanks for this post. Maybe you can help me with something.. I'm an admin for my company's social network sites (FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn) The problem I'm having is with linking the company Twitter account to the COMPANY LinkedIn account.
In other words, at this time when I post from the company twitter account, it appears on my personal linked in updates as you described in this article, but not in the company updates where we need it to be.
If i post from my personal linkedin page, the check box appears to send that update as a tweet also. However, If I were to post from the company LinkedIn page, the check box does not appear, and I can't share it to twitter.
How can I get our tweets to show up in the Company linked in updates?

Re: The LinkedIn “Follow” Function and How You Can Spy on LinkedIn (and be spied on)

Please disregard the last comment. I found it:

To see who's following you:

Click Groups at the top of your home page.Click the group's name.Click More in the row under your group's name and then select Your Activity.Click (Your Name)'s Followers on the left. If you don't have any followers, this option doesn't appear.

How can you tell who is following you? Looking at the screen capture you used for this, Is this function still available on LinkedIn? I do not see it when I look at my Groups tab. Thanks!

Hmm. The issue I am running into, in fact, is that those without box accounts are not able to open or download the documents I've posted to my profile via my box account.

Re: How To Share Documents on LinkedIn

Crystal Thies — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:50:41 -0000

Documents in your LinkedIn profile folder are publicly visible to anyone and everyone. You do not need a Box account to view them. If you don't have a Box account and want to try it out, feel free to visit my profile and click on any of the documents in my Box app.

Re: How To Share Documents on LinkedIn

NYCRecruiter — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:53:59 -0000

Do visitors who try to access your documents from BOX need to sign up for an account, or are they able to open the file directly from your LinkedIn page?

Dear Crystal, many thanks for your posting. I got following confirmation from Esteban Kozak through the German LinkedIn Director on 1st December:

> Twitter’s display guidelines does not allow us to have LinkedIn actions next to theirs. So, we had to take them down 2 weeks ago. http://bit.ly/Twitter_guide...

But I wonder, why Apps are not falling under Twitter's display guidlines or the other way around, for how long Buffer, Twitterfeed, Hootsuite, Tweetdeck & Co. will be able to do so?
