LinkedIn is a professional network and has for this reason a relatively small population of young members (only 5% is under 18 years old). But LinkedIn is trying to get more students and graduates early on board. It’s also the time of the year that most students will graduate so they’ve built a Job Portal for Students and Recent Graduates – http://www.linkedin.com/studentjobs – providing easy access to entry-level jobs and internships at some of the best companies in the world.

LinkedIn launched another new product last week: LinkedIn Today. LinkedIn Today delivers the day’s top news, tailored to you based on what your connections and industry peers are reading and sharing. According to Liz Reaves Walker from LinkedIn, “Staying on top of industry news is something we think matters for any professional whose success depends on being well informed. With all the news websites, blogs, tweets and newsletters out there, staying in-the-know can be time consuming and it’s increasingly hard to figure out what matters most when reading news across multiple sources.” LinkedIn promises to deliver this now.

I’m finalising my research for a new 2011 edition of my book ‘Recruitment via LinkedIn‘ and noticed a strange thing. The number of Tweets in my growing list of connections has dropped considerably.
Four months ago, on 20 September 2010, I had 425 direct connections out of approximately 1150 who added their Twitter account to their LinkedIn profile. That’s approximately one third of total connections. But yesterday, more than 4 months later, I noticed that only 294 of my, slowly growing number of 1263, connections were on Twitter. Or I should say, 23% have added their Twitter account to their LinkedIn profile. This means a drop of 131 (-10%) !
