LinkedIn Adds An Embeddable Follow Button For Company Sites

As you may remember, professional social network LinkedIn added a follow button for companies, which allowed users to follow a company on the network, and receive real-time alerts from its profile in their news and activity stream. LinkedIn is taking this a step further today with the launch of an embeddable button that companies can add to their websites. Now, LinkedIn users will see 'follow Company' buttons on company sites, as well as on LinkedIn itself. Similar to Facebook's Like button, as long as you are logged into LinkedIn, you can follow a company automatically by clicking the button. If you are not logged on, a box will appear asking for your LinkedIn credentials.
