LinkedIn Corp. and Twitter Inc. have announced a partnership that lets users instantly post status updates on both of the social networks.
The two Bay Area companies announced the deal late Monday, but the details of the formal agreement are confidential, said Krista Canfield, LinkedIn’s senior public relations manager.
LinkedIn and Twitter said they would roll out the new services “gradually over the next couple of days.”

LinkedIn now offers its own status updates. But as LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue explained, “The idea is simple: When you set your status on LinkedIn, you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing. And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool.”
