LinkedIn’s New, Simpler Homepage

Olympics London 2012
If you haven’t noticed yet, several of us at Amplify are REALLY excited about the Olympics. Ashley wrote a fabulous Social Guide to the London 2012 Olympic Games post, I’m DVRing like it’s my real job, and Ryan is Googling random things we’re talking about – like the Australian Women’s Beach Volleyball team’s uniforms…
Twitter #Olympics
Not too surprising, many social networks are also featuring the Olympics in some way shape or form. Below are a few of my favorites:
- Twitter’s #Olympics Page
- Pinterest’s Natalie Coughlin Feature
- Facebook’s Olympics’ Page
- Postano’s Socialympics
