LinkedIn rolls out new notification feature![]() September 6, 2012 - 16:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Social-network-for-biz-types LinkedIn has begun offering a Facebook-like feature that notifies a user when another member connected to their network views that person's profile or accepts an invitation, The Register reports. The company said in a blog post that LinkedIn users would start to see a "notification flag" appear at the top of the page announcing when it has something new to share about who's been doing what with their profile. "This new feature is all part of our ongoing effort to make it easier to keep engaging discussions going with your network," said LinkedIn. Partner news Microsoft revealed last week that it received 6-7,000 requests implicating 31-32,000 accounts in the last six months. It is believed that Fisa requests typically seek much more information. But it remains unclear how broad the Fisa orders might be. The acquisitions are the latest in a string under Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who is rebuilding the company on the fly. By mid-July, users will get to apply for IDs of their choice, and will find out which one they have got by mid-August. Partner news |
