LinkedIn goes mobile; iPhone optimized version available
Yesterday, February 25, 2008, 2:37:53 PM | willpark
Social networks aren't going away anytime soon - and the mobile space
is the next frontier. Following on Facebook's mobile version launch
recently, the professional social network LinkedIn has announced that
they have gone mobile. The LinkedIn mobile site is available at
http://m.linkedin.com/ - and if you use your iPhone to visit the
mobile version, you'll see an iPhone-optimized website.

LinkedIn is made for professionals to make the same kind of social-
network contacts that Facebook and MySpace allows, but without all
that spammy nonesense that tends to follow the teenage-demographic.
Make contacts, set up real-life meetings, read-up on a colleague's
qualifications - LinkedIn replaces the old-school face-to-face
networking and business-card swapping that many corporate types are
probably used to.

To that end, iPhones may not be the corporate-email-compatible handset
of choice among professionals, but if any of your business-users
couldn't resist the draw of the iPhone, you'll find a nice iPhone
interface at LinkedIn's new mobile site.

Translation- they had to dumb down the website to make it fuctional on the
iPhone.

You may have misjudged this--the OP couldn't have been spamming unless
he owns linkedin...which I seriously doubt.

linkedin has quietly become quite ubiquitous for professional social
networking.  I wasn't aware the'd spun a version of the site for
mobile browsers.

Or did you have some other angle on this Larry?

I'm always suspicious of any web company that has to have my email
address before they'll let me look at their sales pags.  I don't have to
logon to buy.com before they let me see the catalogue.
