LinkedIn Release their OpenSocial Application Platform

05th November 08 - Posted by Ollie Maitland

LinkedIn Applications

After a torrent of investments, LinkedIn have sharpened up their features set with a new application development platform designed to bring services from the outside into the LinkedIn network.

Shielding their corporate membership from an influx of useless applications and social networking widgets that have troubled Facebook, LinkedIn have sensibly launched with a handful of carefully selected and established applications from SaaS providers London to Tokyo.

Here is the list of cherry picked applications released in the first wave...

Work collaboratively with your network.

  • Box on LinkedIn: Share files and collaborate with your network.
  • Huddle on LinkedIn: Private workspaces to collaborate with your network on projects.


Share information and keep up to date with your network.

  • Amazon on LinkedIn: Discover what your network is reading.
  • TripIt on LinkedIn: See where your network is traveling.
  • SixApart on LinkedIn: Stay up to date with your network's latest blog posts.

Present yourself and your work in new ways.

  • Google Docs on LinkedIn: Embed a presentation on your profile.
  • SlideShare on LinkedIn: Share, view and comment on presentations from your network.
  • WordPress on LinkedIn: Promote your blog and latest posts.

Can anyone develop a LinkedIn Application?

Yes - the LinkedIn Platform is based on the OpenSocial API specification which means that your application can be developed not only for LinkedIn but for any other social network adopting the OpenSocial standard.

Here, at Byng Systems, we believe that the LinkedIn Platform will succeed in ways that the Facebook Platform has not. Firstly, we deal in business-to-business applications meaning that we need standards and quality control on the platforms we leverage.

Our expertise in developing interoperable rich internet applications makes London based Byng Systems a great technology partner in bringing your LinkedIn application to life. Standby for news on how our ByngTogether recruitment platform will be talking OpenSocial in the near future...

For information on building OpenSocial into your application contact Ollie Maitland to talk through your latest ideas in confidence...
