Professional network LinkedIn has launched a mobile Internet version of its site for its 19 million members.
LinkedIn members can access the site on their mobile devices at http://m.linkedin.com. The current release is a beta product with the final version expected later this spring. The beta is available immediately in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, with additional languages to follow.
Using their mobiles web browser, LinkedIn members will be able to search LinkedIn profiles, including photos and bio information; research the mutual contacts they have with other professionals; issue invitations to connect; and receive updates about their connections while on the go.
Lets face it, every professional today is carrying a wireless device,” says LinkedIn CEO, Dan Nye. Many of these professionals are on the move, attending conferences, sales meetings and client events. Making LinkedIn available on mobile devices responds to both these business realities and will be great for our users.
