How to Add Twitter Updates to LinkedIn

LinkedIn company headquarters.

Connecting your Twitter account to your LinkedIn profile is one way to add fresh content to a page that many people only update when they change jobs. Including recent tweets on your profile can help your connections stay up-to-date on your life or establish your reputation with potential business clients. You can choose to send every tweet to LinkedIn automatically or only send certain tweets to help separate your personal updates from those you want to appear alongside your work history.

Instructions

1. Log in to linkedin.com.

2. Click on your name in the upper-right corner and choose "Settings."

3. Click "Manage Your Twitter Settings."

4. Click "Add Your Twitter Account."

5. Log in to your Twitter account when prompted if you are not currently logged in.

6. Click the "Allow" button to grant LinkedIn access to your Twitter account.

7. Check the "Share only tweets that contain #in (#li also works) in your LinkedIn status" box to choose which tweets you want to send to Twitter. Include "#in" or "#li" somewhere in your tweet to send it to LinkedIn; otherwise that tweet will not appear as a LinkedIn status update. Uncheck this box to send every tweet to LinkedIn.

8. Click "Save Changes."

Tips & Warnings

• You can add multiple Twitter accounts to the same LinkedIn profile.
