One of the other tools that I think is really essential that we get our head Randi something called
Linked-In pulse.
No pulse was a third party news app that you had for your smartphone and Linked-In purchased polls a
few months ago and it replaced the Linked-In today feature.
Now polls is essentially a digital daily for you so it's your own personalized news feed based on subjects
and section sectors and categories that you're interested in and it sends you relevant news information.
Now the reason why linked impulses so good is because it integrates with your linked in profile.
So give you a few of the benefits here and it's relevant reading for your interests and your work life.
So for example if you're into architectural marketing or PR or facilities management or procurement
or whatever really you can subscribe to information that's relevant on a work level that enables you
to communicate maybe have conversations conversation started maybe with prospects that you want to approach
on LinkedIn or just for general networking purposes.
What it does though is it's sort of that news out.
The most popular content so we've sort heard the news that's voted for by your peers.
So if you said a particular news item at the top of your news feed then that Arten will no doubt have
been shared and viewed by a lot of the similar sort of people that use Linked anti-self that's quite
useful because if you're going to reposition any of that content maybe in a blog about getting into
talk about it at least you know you'll be blogging or talking about content that is actually quite popular
in your sector rather than obscure news that maybe isn't of too much interest to your entire audience.
And if you write a blog linked impulse is a great source of good quality blog content ideas.
So whether you want a cure rate that content and put your own spin on it or whether you want to rewrite
that article or even in some cases you want to blatantly disagree with that article and point it where
the author was a complete Mabbett then blinked impostures a great source of content free to do just
that.
And it integrates with any of your favorite sites that has an RSS feed as well.
So if you regularly find yourself using certain sites maybe on the BBC News website or any of the other
news aggregators if they have something called an RSS feed you can add the RSS feed to Linked In polls
and then that way that news content will also feed into that one APS-C can get all of your news from
various different sources and your social channels all shift through into one nice application and you
can either view that using the Linked-In platform or you can use it or you can view it by installing
the Android or iPhone app and it helps you get involved in relevant conversation discussion that's taking
place online especially on LinkedIn with a particular or popular news item rather than Linked-In pulse.
And you'll notice more more people talking about that content on the team.
And of course if you're privy to this information as well it enables you to interject into that conversation
with some valuable or relevant information of your own.
One of the ways in which we suggest using linked impulses are very much your own digital daily magazine
magazines very more often more morning cup of coffee activities they are getting morning coffee a thrilling
impulses long as well as Twitter in BBC news and so on and all the others.
But I use it as a very much a digital daily morning cup of coffee activity.
I feel like I'm at least aware of some of the Updike's and developments in my sector that are of interest
to me not only professionally but also personally.
