>>{{image url="http://static02.linkedin.com/img/pic/pic_widgets_shareonlinkedin_115x93.gif" title="Share on LinkedIn"}}>>
A new action for adding a //Share on [[http://LinkedIn.com LinkedIn]]//,  link to your website or blog allowing your users to share your content with their [[http://LinkedIn.com LinkedIn]] connections or networks. This gives your content legs: one user visits your site and can notify literally tens, hundreds, or thousands of others. Works great for news sites, blogs, and other content–rich sites. See [[http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=developers_widget_shareonlinkedin here]] for the ""LinkedIn"" description of this functionality.
