LinkedIn Stops Sharing Twitter Posts

LinkedIn revealed today that you can no longer share your tweets on the career-oriented social network. Many writers had connected their LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, automatically sharing tweets on LinkedIn.

Although you can still post your LinkedIn updates on Twitter, the social networks reached an agreement to keep users from posting Twitter content straight into the site. LinkedIn head of content products Ryan Roslansky explained in a post:

As Twitter shared earlier today in a blog post from Michael Sippey, they are increasingly focused on ‘providing the core Twitter consumption experience through a consistent set of products and tools.’ Consistent with Twitter’s evolving platform efforts, Tweets will no longer be displayed on LinkedIn starting later today. We know many of you value Twitter as an additional way to broadcast professional content beyond your LinkedIn connections. Moving forward, you will still be able to share your updates with your Twitter audience by posting them on LinkedIn. (Via AllTwitter)
