Can You Post LinkedIn Updates From TweetDeck?
You can post LinkedIn updates from TweetDeck by authorizing TweetDeck to act on behalf of your LinkedIn account. Post regular updates for your connections to read, comment on posts made by your connections and send private messages. Posts show up on your profile just as if you had published them from the LinkedIn website itself.
