It was just announced that "CNBC has entered into an alliance with LinkedIn under which the
financial news channel will air content generated by the professional
networking site's 27 million members."
"CNBC, which is part of General Electric Co, will integrate LinkedIn's networking functionality into its website CNBC.com, enabling users to share and discuss news with their professional contacts."
This is an interesting deal and one that aims to add more user generated functionality into LinkedIn so it can compete with other large online networking sites such as Facebook.
Time will only tell if LinkedIn is successful with all of its recent alliances and additions to its service.
