Today LinkedIn launched a new feature called the Profile Organizer. This lets users save profiles of interest and keep them handy in one organized location.
With the Profile Organizer, users can save the profile into a designated folder, add contact info, and write private notes, only visible to them. To save profiles, just click the “save profile” link that appears by people’s profiles. There is also a “save profile” option that appears in LinkedIn searches, and it works the same way.
“If you do many searches on LinkedIn, the single-click ‘save profile’ action can save you time,” says LinkedIn’s Elizabeth Reaves. “You no longer need to review each interesting profile in detail: just save from the search results page, and you can narrow down your list in Profile Organizer later.”
“A few of us at LinkedIn have started using Profile Organizer and find it particularly helpful after attending networking events or conferences,” adds Reaves. “In the past, I collected a stack of business cards and came back from the event unsure about what to do with them. Now, I find the contacts on LinkedIn, and jot down relevant information into Profile Organizer. The next time I go to a similar event, I simply glance through my notes to recall details about our past conversations.”
The Profile Organizer can be found in the contacts tab. This week LinkedIn also launched a native application for the Palm Pre.
