LinkedIn Launches Profile Bookmarking

If you’re a hiring manager, marketer or journalist, you know how important it is to have leads. Those of us who’ve been on the hunt for good sources and staff have often resorted to bookmarking portfolios and saving them for a later date. Today, LinkedIn announced Profile Organizer– a service that offers premium users a chance to bookmark and annotate the profiles that interest them most.

With Profile Organizer, bookmarking is simple. Users save contacts with one click and are given the option to create category files for their contacts. If you want to separate the product managers from the designers or the engineers from the HR staff, you can. Users are given the chance to name their contact folders by occupation, location or other relevant labels. From here you can also choose to add contact information and notes. The information is only visible to you so you can be as descriptive as you like. If you don’t already have a tool like Salesforce, the notes section is a great place to jot down a contact’s interests and hobbies. If you’re the type of person who needs more to jog your memory, it’s also a great place to record the details of your last conversation.

The Profile Organizer is available to regular LinkedIn users for a 30-day trial. Business members can access the service but are given a limit of 5 contact folders. Meanwhile, Business Pro and Pro members can create as many as 25 contact folders. To test the new product visit Linkedin.com/organizer.
