LinkedIn Offers a Sweet New Sharing Button
If you love buttons with numbers attached, you’ll probably like LinkedIn’s newest feature – share on LinkedIn buttons… with numbers attached.
LinkedIn has made quite a few improvements recently that have made them a viable contender in the scramble for social sharing attention, and this newest addition will certainly help them along. In their own words…
We know there are a lot of options for sharing content today, whether it’s on Twitter or Facebook. And, now with our new LinkedIn’s share button, we’d like to offer readers an effective way to share relevant professional content – news, thought pieces, white papers, or presentations on slideshare – with their business network on LinkedIn.
As a professional, we know the importance of staying up-to-speed on industry trends and business news and now we have made it easier for you to share that news and research with your team, clients, and peers from your favorite business news sites. Or, use LinkedIn share to get a conversation started with clients and colleagues you haven’t reached out to in a while.

The new button does look nice, but is it really necessary when plugins like ShareThis are available?
