Can Social Media Agencies Endorse Linkedin's Open Platform?

By Paula Hess


Last year, LinkedIn gave its users the ability to publish their own posts on the social media website. To say that the response has been strong would have been an understatement, as more than 330 million people have taken advantage of this very feature. With that said, the platform could have benefited from a bit of expansion, which I'm sure any and all social media agencies can attest to. As of recent times, this ability has come into being.

LinkedIn, as it's been reported, has expanded its blogging - or publishing - platform up so that all English-speaking countries in the world can access to it. As stated earlier, 330 million people had access to it; this has increased by 230 million. As a result, it's easy to see that there is a greater chance of interaction that stands to be seen. Seeing as how several businesses and industries can be spoken about, under LinkedIn, this bit of news is made that much stronger.

It's easy to see why so many people are engaged on LinkedIn. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other entities, LinkedIn is primarily focused on employment and the ability to connect to others in specific industries. However, it's easy to forget that this is still a social media website. As a result - and I am sure that social media agencies across the board will agree - there's still the focus on content that's made stronger because of this development.

The more people who are able to engage, on a platform, the easier it is for them to create content. When this happens, there will be a greater audience to account for, which only means good things for the capabilities social media agencies have. Because of this, I have to believe that the popularity of LinkedIn will grow. When this happens, as authorities like fishbat may attest to, it'll only make the value of the website that much greater.

Linked, when used well, has the potential to produce some of the most positive results in social media engagement. This is heightened by the fact that this platform has expanded over the course of time, allowing more and more people to use the site's publishing functionality. Of course, the ultimate success of this movement is hard to predict. If it is allowed the time to grow and develop, though, I am sure that LinkedIn will become an even better website to stay involved in.
