LinkedIn goes mobile

The business social network LinkedIn has launched a mobile app.

LinkedIn’s 19 million members can visit a dedicated mobile internet site to be able to search profiles including photos and biogs, research mutual contacts they have with other professionals, send invitations and receive updates about connections while on the go.

"Let's face it, every professional today is carrying a wireless device," said Dan Nye, LinkedIn CEO.  "Many of these professionals are on the move, attending conferences, sales meetings and client events.  Making LinkedIn available on mobile devices responds to both these business realities and will be great for our users."
