This week the professional social network LinkedIn rolled out a number updates — one being a revamp of its search tool. The latest feature allows users to streamline search by providing results of people, companies, jobs, groups and other filters into one personalized result. People just need to type what they are looking for in the search box, and voila results galore. Prior to this move, users had to do separate searches for each filter, equating to a major headache. As this new tool simplifies search for people, it can also help LinkedIn users increase their relevancy by appearing in various filters — be it personal profiles or groups. That’s good news for young entrepreneurs looking to make key connections with more and more influencers, vendors and potential customers. If you haven’t joined LinkedIn, now is the time.
