PCWorld: How to Integrate LinkedIn With Outlook
The new feature lets you see LinkedIn data for contacts right inside Outlook, including photos and profile information.
“Beginning today, if you’re a Microsoft Outlook user, you can integrate your LinkedIn network with your Outlook inboxes. This is the fruit of a partnership between Microsoft and LinkedIn that was originally announced in November. This new feature will give you greater transparency into the people with whom you e-mail: Photos of your connection are displayed in your e-mails, activity from your connection is aggregated at the bottom of e-mails and a new folder in Outlook is displayed containing e-mail addresses and profile details.
How It Works:
Click here to download the latest version of the Outlook Social Connector from Microsoft. This download requires Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010. Once that is installed, download the LinkedIn Outlook Connecter here. Then restart your Outlook application and follow the instructions to connect your LinkedIn account to Outlook.”
