LinkedIn Wants To Be Twitter

It’s human nature, why wouldn’t you want to be as successful as Twitter if you design web apps for a living? The people at LinkedIn obviously do. While I was tinkering with my LinkedIn profile I noticed a strange request, LinkedIn wanted to know what I was doing, how odd, since Twitter asks nearly the same question anytime I visit their site.

What’s wrong with this? Nothing really, other than one person can only update so many social network profiles before their actual work comes calling. That’s why I recommend using ping.fm as a way to syndicate posts. At least that way when the newest website dujour asks you what you’re doing you can simply add it to your list of ping.fm syndicated sites and you’ll be all good.
