Personal branding just got easier! Twitter and LinkedIn to share status updates

Social networks Twitter and LinkedIn sign partnership to allow users to cross-post messages across the services

Micro-blogging platform Twitter and business networking site LinkedIn, which has 50 million registered users, have announced a partnership to enable their users to cross-post their status updates.

Allen Blue, LinkedIn's co-founder and VP of product strategy, announced the decision on the LinkedIn blog: "The idea is simple: When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing. And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool.

The way that the integration works on the Twitter side is especially interesting, because you can choose between two versions: you can decide to use the Twitter settings to send all of your tweets, or select certain tweets from Twitter back to LinkedIn as a status update which you mark with the hashtag #li or #in.

(VIDEO) New Google Dashboard - see what Google knows about you!

There’s no two ways about it: if you use a lot of Google services, then Google knows a lot about you. Google has received a solid amount of criticism because of this, and they’ve decided to alleviate the issue by launching Privacy Dashbord; a one-stop-shop with all the information that Google knows about you and your online habits collected in one place.

The Google Dashboard allows you to view and control data associated with the different products you use with your Google Account.

You can find the dashboard over at www.google.com/dashboard, or by login into your Google account, clicking on Settings, choosing “Google Account Settings” from the dropdown, and then clicking on the link next to “Dashboard”. Check out an introductory video for Google Dashboard below.
