Hoping to vastly expand its online footprint, LinkedIn has opened a new developer platform, which, according to ReadWriteWeb, "should bring LinkedIn content, buttons, Twitter-esque 'profile summaries'
and more to websites throughout the Web."
Beyond developers, the professional social network's new platform is offering an entire suite of plug-ins to bring all manner of content to
individual Web sites. "Even better, it's making it as easy as the click of a button and it could offer some serious competition to Facebook's Open Graph on sites that cater to the career-minded,"
suggests ReadWriteWeb.
Addressing site publishers, LinkedIn explains: "You can show your visitors who they know in a professional context with the Member Profile plug-in, and display
rich personalized insights about companies featured on your site with the Company Insider plug-in."
