During the Microsoft ignite in september, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella gave a demonstration about integration of linkedin with Microsoft apps for commercial Office 365 subscribers.
Microsoft rolled out the integration of linkedin with Outlook.com today where user can view the rich insights, profile pictures, work history, and more, right from within their personal inbox.
Now, if you have scheduled a meeting with a person, you can view his linkedin profile, career background, interests etc right inside your outlook inbox and makeup your mind about the upcoming meeting.
Generally, in every mailbox, when user clicks on user’s name, it shows a short profile with user’s name and profile picture. When you click on the name inside Gmail it shows google plus profile in next tab with very basic information. But, this is the first time user can see the complete professional and career information inside the mailbox.
You just need to click on the user’s name and you will see a popup with the basic information. When you will click on the “linkedin profile”, it will open the linkedin profile in same popup.
Linkedin is a social networking used for professional networking, founded in 2002, available on all the platforms including web and mobile devices. It is having 500 million members across 200 countries with 106 million active users. Microsoft acquired linkedin in 2016 worth $26.2 billion.
