By now you’ve probably seen all the hubbub about Twitter breaking up with LinkedIn.

While this may be a big deal for LI, I can’t see how this impacts the average social media marketer.
Have you been affected? Is it changing the way you market online?

@rich-brooks Not really changing, as I personally don’t like blanketing my audience with the exact same messages at the same time. I used it most for article sharing

so glad to be back online (at least while it is working!) and “in the know” of what’s happening. Thanks, Rich. @rich-brooks

@rich-brooks Twitter and LinkedIn have such different audiences … I NEVER share the same info across the two.

@rich-brooks I had unlinked my two accounts ages ago. What I have noticed however is that I am now unable to share content to groups from outside sources, i.e. Forbes, CareerRocketeer, Inc, etc. That I definitely do not like. It is time consuming to copy and paste content into 2 or more groups (when appropriate).
Has anyone else run across this change of only being able to share to your main LinkedIn update stream?

I didn’t realize you could ever share content to more than one group at a time, so I guess I never used that feature.
It was probably disabled because it was abused. I find that I belong to several Maine-based LI groups, and too often it’s the same conversation in all of them, as people post the same message to every group.
Maybe LI was trying to stop that, along w/fighting spammers…and you were caught in the middle.

@rich-brooks I share with a couple of career-oriented sites on occasion when the topic is worth it. I did find an API today that allowed me to share to groups. Most LinkedIn share links that I’m finding now will only let me share to my updates and not to groups or LI friends. The spammers that I’ve seen tend to be those “we’ve got 100s of jobs available” or “save 1000s of dollars with our special offer” vs. over-sharing a particular article.

So many busy marketers thought they had it all figured out when posting to LI then sending the same message to FB and Twitter. As Amy mentioned, it’s different audiences – but for the ones that were duplicates, it was information overload and caused “tune out”.

I like the way my LinkedIn stream has been cleaned-up. Enjoying going through the content much more now, versus before when it was mostly “Tweets.”

The downside is that Linkedin now becomes “yet another channel to spend time on”.
When you have a twitter account that talks mostly about business related topics, it was nice to have it linked automatically into your Linkedin profile.
Not everybody who follows you on Linkedin also follows you on Twitter, so for me it’s a major letdown.

I also used the link between the two like Ivanka, for business post sharing on both.
