Business Oriented Social Network LinkedIn Rolls Out Share Button‏

Social Networks feel the need to progress and compliment the needs of their users every passing day, as more and more
people flock towards these social networks to stay in touch with their family, friends and colleagues. The world is advancing rapidly towards globalization and the best way to keep up with this pace is through social networks, which are used by ordinary people and advertisers alike. This time, business centered social network, LinkedIn brings something for its users.
So its good news for all LinkedIn users who feel the need to constantly share their content online. Specifically for that purpose, LinkedIn has launched a share button, which allows publishers to spread their content on this network flawlessly.
LinkedIn is offering its publishers three types of share buttons namely, vertical with a share counter, a considerably smaller, horizontal one with share counter and a simple horizontal button without the share counter. These buttons can be easily added to a site or blog by choosing one of the options, and pasting some lines of code that are available at LinkedIn's Publishers page.
Earlier this year, in April to be specific, LinkedIn launched a wide array of sharing options for its users, allowing them to attach links with status updates, while letting them re-share links and edit or delete posts. Now, as LinkedIn brings the share, its seems fairly in line with the content sharing options that Facebook offers its users.
Let's see if LinkedIn can attract publishers as they already incorporate Twitter, Digg, Facebook, StumbleUpon etc sharing buttons, how will LinkedIn compel them to dedicate space to the button, when such heavy competition exists, is something we'll see as time passes. Will you add the LinkedIn sharing button to your blog or site? Let us know in the comments below.
