Coming Soon: Bring Your LinkedIn Network to TweetDeck

With the addition of Facebook and MySpace, TweetDeck has gradually gone from being just a great Twitter client to now being a true browser for the real-time web. With the addition of each new network it has become easier and easier to stay in touch with your social circle. 

And today we are delighted to announce that in v0.32 you will also be able to keep up with your LinkedIn contacts via TweetDeck too. Thanks to the great new LinkedIn Platform, you will soon be able to add a LinkedIn column to your TweetDeck, showing all the updates from your network that would normally be visible on the LinkedIn web page. 

If you want to filter the LinkedIn column to only show certain types of update (e.g. status updates, connections or profile changes), you will be able to manage this from the new filter panel which will appear when you click the column header.

And not only will you see updates from your network, but of course you will be able send status updates, add comments to status updates and view LinkedIn profiles within TweetDeck, ensuring that you are always connected with your professional contacts just as much as your personal ones.

We are thrilled to be adding LinkedIn to the suite of networks available in TweetDeck and we hope you will enjoy being even more connected than ever before.

Look out for v0.32 of TweetDeck coming very soon, featuring lots of very exciting new features....Twitter lists anyone?

Great news!! However you will soon have a challenge with the column layout: I have 2 twitter accounts (all friends + direct msg + mentions columns) + 1 facebook + 1 linkedin with a 1600px wide screen... Not enough to see anything...

I hope you'll also be including the new retweet feature in the upgrade as well!

Will it be possible to post to twitter without posting to LinkedIn?

Having Tweetdeck using LInkedIn's API will be great, but let's not forget there are reasons to use tools like ping.fm to spread your message too.

@nicolas_leroy Ah yes, but TweetDeck has always been about lots of columns! :) Seriously, we will be thinking about ensuring the UI remains useable with so many columns, but for now the horizontal scrollbar is your friend!

@chayer Yes, like all services you will be able to choose which services you want to post to

@carolhagen Indeed, its a big world out there and we are just one of a huge array of great products providing the services that folk need.

"Twitter lists anyone?" That's great, TD is going to be the best application by far when this comes together...just wish I could further manipulate the width of my columns, need them to be even narrower so I can see more on my screen. Regardless, GREAT JOB!!!

I agree with the others. This is a nice addition to the TweetDeck platform.
Nov 24, 2009
BrandonJD said...
Id settle for the twitter only features if it mean that updates would come quicker. Myspace support? In 2009? I would have rather gotten lists weeks ago than to wait for LinkedIN support, which only a fraction of the userbase will use.

Fantastic! With LinkedIn support all I need now is an app for BlackBerry. Awesome work TD! Keep it up, and thank you. ;-)

Nice Addition !

This is a nice addition to the TweetDeck platform. I am agree !

I hope this includes an update that keeps TweetDeck from missing tweets when it is refreshing and an update that will show tweets that are retweeted using the retweet button from Twitter.com. In my mind these are far more important than adding another network. Make the networks you have now fully functional first. If I could find another client with a couple of the features I use most in TweetDeck I'd already have dumped it because of the missed tweets.

Dear Tweetdeck.
Why do I now have to install the flash browser plugin just to download tweetdeck? I already have adobe air. It doesn't make any sense!!!!!!!!!@
