LinkedIn next great feature will follow in the footsteps of Facebook

LinkedIn is set to follow in the footsteps of Facebook by entering the immediate items for its members, at least if rumor is to be believed.

The news comes from internal sources who spoke to BuzzFeed, claiming that LinkedIn has been in talks with publishers in order to implement the system.

If you are not familiar with the idea of ​​instant articles, essentially, that allow publishers put their items directly into the social network, so they are staying right there and benefit from load much faster - and Facebook says readers they are much more likely to share (they are apparently shared 30% more often than the mobile web articles).

The benefit to the social networking site, of course, is that users are not leaving their confines to read articles. For Facebook, it's all part of his grand plan to effectively become the site for its users, and it certainly will not hurt to share figures LinkedIn, and help establish the network as a solid source of business news.

Getting it right

BuzzFeed tapped LinkedIn shoulder a comment on speculation, and actually received a response to a change with a telling spokesman: "Publishers are still a very important part of our ecosystem of content and we are in regular talks with them about new ways to work together. Our goal is to make sure we get the right content in front of the right hand side at the right time to offer the best experience possible member. "

That certainly sounds like a fairly positive response and that is far from being a denial, which could well see a similar to the instant articles appearing Facebook LinkedIn soon system.

LinkedIn has more than 400 million users worldwide, and probably much more than that now that figure announced last fall.
