Though Iam posting this a bit late, but LinkedIn Apps have arrived and How..
It did stand up to it's need - professional networking.
As the LinkedIn blog says - "The nine applications that you see live today on LinkedIn include productivity enhancing applications from Amazon, Box.net, Google, Huddle, Six Apart, SlideShare, Tripit, and WordPress as well a Company Buzz application developed by LinkedIn"
As you might get from the list of applications and their apparent use , LinkedIn does not look like it gave in to the pressure it feels from Facebook. Contrary to the apps on Facebook(a wild guess of about 20K+), Twitter and other social networks, I dont think LinkedIn is giving access to anyone for adding any application into it. It needs the developer to explain what his or her application is going to do and how it will help users on LinkedIn to accomplish a task. So no silly, funny apps, or games. LinkedIn means Business.
Just 100% useful applications that we could use on a professional level.
Checkout what mashable has to say about new apps that would enrich a users experience on LinkedIn . Looks like we could get updates and work done on LinkedIn itself without the need to open 10 different websites.
Let's see how users will react. Needless to say, Iam thrilled !!
