LinkedIn Launches Answer Service for Business Advice

Posted on January 8, 2007

LinkedIn has launched a new answer service called LinkedIn Answers. The service will not compete directly with the leading answering services like Yahoo Answers. Instead the service will focus on the business niche and offer business advice from experts. Pronet Advertising is impressed with LinkedIn's new service.

LinkedIn has launched its new Answers service, which allows LinkedIn users to both ask questions and answer them. The service is very similar to Yahoo Answers except for the fact that it only covers a small niche whereas Yahoo Answers covers topics for anything. This actually gives them an advantage because they aren't in competition with other questions & answers sites.

I am really impressed with LinkedIn Answers and think the service is a great fit for their site and is also beneficial to the LinkedIn community. Even though Google recently threw in the towel for its answers service I really think LinkedIn Answers is going to be hot, it seems to really make sense

Social Degree is also impressed and calls LinkedIn Answers extremely useful. More discussion can be found at 606tech, WebConnoissuer and AppScout.
