LinkedIn Becomes Twitter-fied With New Launch, LinkedIn Signal

via TechCrunch - LinkedIn’s CEO Jeff Weiner has just unveiled LinkedIn Signal at TechCrunch Disrupt, a new feature that neatly marries the worlds of LinkedIn and Twitter and allows users to apply the professional social network’s filters to Twitter’s firehose. Think of it as a window into Twitter (and LinkedIn’s updates), through the eyes of LinkedIn. Signal doesn't restrict users to 140 characters, like Twitter does.
