Let's see what's new in social media this week with, Christian Karasiewicz and Jim Fuhs. Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 231 LinkedIn Stories In LinkedIn news, they are currently working on LinkedIn Stories. While you may be used to Stories on other platforms, LinkedIn is trying to be different with how they implement Stories, especially in a business context. Here is what Pete Davies, head of consumer products had to say about the importance of Stories for business. Stories first appeared on Snapchat, with other platforms like Instagram and Facebook adopting them soon after. They spread for a good reason: they offer a lightweight, fun way to share an update without it having to be perfect or attached to your profile forever. So, we're currently testing LinkedIn Stories internally, and we can't wait to test it with our members in the coming months. We've learned so much already about the unique possibilities of Stories in a professional context. For example, the sequencing of the Stories format is great for sharing key moments from work events, the full-screen narrative style makes it easy to share tips and tricks that help us work smarter, and the way Stories opens up new messaging threads makes it easier for someone to say, "and by the way… I noticed you know Linda, could you introduce me?" Why LinkedIn Stories Matter For Your Business While not much is known about LinkedIn Stories yet, they could hold some business value (provided they are implemented right). For starters, what works for Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat Stories likely won't for LinkedIn Stories. This is a big reason why despite being last to the party, LinkedIn Stories are taking a conservative approach. We envision them being similar to Stories on other platforms, minus the puppies, kittens, bitmoji characters and instead focus on business utility, such as sharing quick tips, personal messages to other LinkedIn users and so on. LinkedIn Stories should begin rolling out to users over the coming months.
