Is that cool or what? Sign in was quick and interface is easy to use. Don’t know what it looks like on WAP devices … those users should just throw in the towel and move up to the iPhone.

From PC World

Social networking site LinkedIn is extending its service from desktop PCs to mobile phones and iPods.

LinkedIn’s 19 million members can now view other members’ profiles, invitations and updates via the company’s Wap site, which went live yesterday in six languages.

A specially tailored version has also been made available for iPhone users.

“We want to help professionals network and the more information you have to do the job the better,” said Kevin Eyres, European managing director at LinkedIn.

“I think we will see a large number of our users pick this up. It is quick, convenient and there is nothing to install.”

The move follows similar efforts from Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

Last month I attended an event by the Entrepreneurs’ Forum of Greater Philadelphia held at Villanova University School of Business. The speaker was Adam Nash, Senior Director of Product at LinkedIn. As I always recommend clients set up a LinkedIn account and link to their new blog for the SEO benefits, I was eager to hear what was up at LinkedIn.

Your most valuable asset is your professional reputation and the people who know you. LinkedIn is design to facilitate sharing these factors. LinkedIn is used by executives at all the Fortune 500 and membership is over 16 million. In fact over 200,000 are from the Philadelphia area.

He announced that LinkedIn would be supporting OpenSocial, Google’s free and open source API that will make web widget application portable across other social media sites that support it. This is huge. Here is a video of the announcement at Google.

The latest Nielsen NetRating has LinkedIn growing faster (189%) than FaceBook (125%). So if you are waiting for a engraved invitation this is it. Send me your email and I will invite you in my network[2.3 million].
