"Let's face it, every professional today is carrying a wireless device," said Dan Nye, LinkedIn CEO. "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." There were more than 405 million mobile Internet users worldwide in 2007, with that number projected to grow to 489 million this year, according to eMarketer.com, a market research resource for Internet and emerging technologies."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/linked-in-jd-feb26.gif" /><br /><br />If you find yourself using LinkedIn a great deal, you can now use it when you're on the go. Myself, LinkedIn is the only social networking site other than Facebook that I find myself on a few times a week. Although in the case of LinkedIn, I tend to use it to approve people who want to connect with me...and that's about it. LinkedIn is great for finding contacts one of two tiers away from your contacts for business tasks. Check out the mobile version and tell us what you think.
