I have been trying to figure out some ways for the members of the Blog Marketing Group Linkedin Group to be able to interact together more. It looks like Linkedin was listening to my questions and this Friday, they are releasing some new stuff.

This was in an email I received this evening:

This Friday, we will be adding several much-requested features to your group:

Discussion forums: Simple discussion spaces for you and your members. (You can turn discussions off in your management control panel if you like.)

Enhanced roster: Searchable list of group members.

Digest emails: Daily or weekly digests of new discussion topics which your members may choose to receive. (We will be turning digests on for all current group members soon, and prompting them to set to their own preference.)

Group home page: A private space for your members on LinkedIn.

I will keep all of the members of the group informed on the ways we will use these new features.
