LinkedIn.com, a professional networking website that everyone ought to be on, just added a pretty cool new feature. Now, individual members can choose to follow a company, and keep track of their key developments. Here’s how they explain it:”“Follow Company” helps you be among the first to learn about developments at companies like DreamWorks, find job openings at NASA or stumble upon business development opportunities at Netflix.
