SocialMail links in to LinkedIn

by on Apr.16, 2010, under SocialMail

It took a while however I am most pleased to present the first SocialMail plugin, smLinkedIn.   The plugin grabs information from LinkedIn for those contacts that we have profile URLs for.

Right now it presents

  • Headline
  • Company/Job information
  • How you’re connected
  • URL’s

The plugin also allows you to send LinkedIn Connection requests to your contacts, so you can continue to expand your LinkedIn.  Also you can post status updates to LinkedIn.  A word of caution, if you’ve already connected Twitter to your LinkedIn account, don’t use SocialMail to post updates for both networks as it will cause double posts to LinkedIn.

In order to use this, you must have SocialMail 0.3 or higher installed and then download and install the Linkedin extension : smlinkedin_v0.1.2(right click, Save As. Then install into Thunderbird as per a normal addon)

Hope you find this useful.
