Not long ago LinkedIn unveiled its applications platform where outside developers can offer business-oriented software. Developers include Amazon, Box.net, Google, Huddle, Six Apart, SlideShare, Tripit and WordPress. I wouldn’t call these applications exactly enterprise class, but they could be useful in the corporate environment.
The most interesting app is LinkedIn’s in-house developed Company Buzz. The application tracks what is said about your company and products on Twitter. It would be great to develop it more aggregating content form all over the big social networks and get an overview of what is beeing said.
This comes in a time of “economic crisis” and clearly differentiates LinkedIn from the games and other time wasting apps found elsewhere. By doing this it will take it’s “social” element a bit further maybe in the near future becoming also an intranet service for the companies of the new era.
On the “other side of town” rumor has it that Facebook may be about to roll out the ability for users to group their Facebook friends into categories such as “professional”, “family”, “close friends” etc., from which different levels of profile access could be applied. With this move Facebook is trying to step a bit closer in the professional networking scene. But can it get passed the iq tests and the trivia questions regarding tv shows?
LinkedIn launched a Facebook app to enable company job openings to be advertised through Facebook, but users have requested a much bigger integration. How long will it be until a new social network will apear combing the best feauters from what now is sepparated across the internet: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. Combing this with productivity tools such as google apps and a cool project management system as Basecamp they will shorely make history. But can users these days support another social netowrk?

I am glad you like my new blog Phoebs. Regarding the name odin is a project of mine started a while back. I gave that up but kept the name.
I really don’t need a tudototolici.com domain right now so this suits me just fine.
I think you`d need a tudortotolici.com
