Keeping In Touch On The Road – LinkedIn Goes Mobile

AllBusiness: Keeping In Touch On The Road – LinkedIn Goes Mobile

Social networking sites are all very well, but SMBs are more likely to rely on LinkedIn to find and keep in touch with business colleagues. Now they can use it on a mobile phone.

“While all the focus has been on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, business users have long relied on business networking with sites such as LinkedIn. So it is strange to consider that while social networking has been mobile in a plethora of ways forever (at least forever in mobile time), that just now business networking is catching up.

This week WorldMate announced that it was adding mobile integration, including the ability to look up LinkedIn contacts from the WorldMate Web site, as well as from a BlackBerry app. The company has also indicated that it will add an iPhone app in the near future. What is noteworthy about this, is of course, that the BlackBerry is still – at least to WorldMate – being seen as the preferred business handset for travelers.”
