This week Linkedin will be offering some new features for groups.

This week, we’re providing you with brand new tools to make your group even more valuable to your members: news sharing and discussion features.

This Friday users will be able to share, recommend, and discuss news articles within LinkedIn groups. Any member of a group will be able to submit an article for reading and discussion.

We have built in several controls for the group manager:

Managers (as well as submitters) are able to delete any article that has been submitted or is being discussed.

Managers (as well as authors) are able to delete any comment within a discussion.

Managers are able to turn the news sharing and discussion features off entirely within the management tab.

This would be a great way for the Blog For Profit, Blog Marketing Group to share articles and even blog post from other bloggers. If you are not a member of the group, you can go here to join. And if you are a member, let the sharing begin.

Also don’t forget to subscribe to the Blog For Profit Newsletter. We include information in the newsletter we don’t feature here on the blog.
