LinkedIn Hooks Up with CNBC

LinkedIn Hooks Up with CNBC

Cable news outlet CNBC is partnering with professional social networking service LinkedIn to add collaboration and community functionality to its site.

Cable news network CNBC has entered into a new partnership with the social networking service LinkedIn to add collaboration and community features to the CNBC.com Web site. Under the deal, users will be able to share CNBC articles and content with contacts via LinkedIn, and users will be able to find out which members of their social networks connect with companies they’re reading about.

Unlike social networking sites like FaceBook an MySpace, LinkedIn focuses on professional and business connections rather than sharing tastes in music and media and grabbing the latest “profile bling.” CNBC no doubt hopes adding LinkedIn functionality will make their online efforts “stickier” to businesspeople and professionals…which in turn drives traffic to their site and increases their appeal to advertisers. CNBC also plans to develop community-generated content for broadcast on CNBC programs, including survey results and on-air Q&A sessions.

The CNBC deal follows an advertising deal with LinkedIn and The New York Times last July, and an alliance with BusinessWeek set up in late 2007.

LinkedIn claims about 27 million members. Financial terms of its arrangement with CNBC were not disclosed.

  2. sharetipsinfo at 3:06am 21st October 2008 Hi,
    Global economies are feeling pain due to USA recession and now major outcomes are coming to prevent slowdown. Still USA is a hub of financial services and most of the banks in USA are bank corrupt now which is effecting every country.
    Indian stock market is trading at the almost same levels where it was 2 years back. All gains of 2 years are now washed out in few months. Most of the Indian stocks are trading at there 52 weeks low.

    Now investors are thinking that this is the right time to invest there valuable money for value buying still we suggest investors to stay away from market for few more days as still market is in bearish trend and we may witness more downfall before recovery.


    For any doubt please feel free to ask us.


    Thanks
