Twitters links to LinkedIn

Twitter on Tuesday linked to LinkedIn, letting people share updates and tweets between the hot microblogging service and the career-oriented online social networking website.
Twitter synchronization features will roll out during the next several days, according to LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue.
"When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing," Blue said in a blog post.
"And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool."
LinkedIn was launched in Mountain View, California, in 2003 as an online community for people to advance career and job prospects. LinkedIn reportedly has more than 50 million registered users worldwide.
