Social networks gaining “inspiration” from features on other social networks is nothing new, and in the latest case, LinkedIn is reportedly developing its answer to Facebook’s Instant Articles.

Facebook introduced Instant Articles in May 2015 as a way for publishers to present quick-loading posts containing rich media, and the feature was made available to all publishers at the social network’s F8 global developers’ conference in April.
