LinkedIn Introduces Commenting and Liking to Social News Product

LinkedIn Today is still getting its legs. It's a news service on LinkedIn that attempts to deliver relevant, social news to users of the network. It takes popular shares from users' professional contacts and subscribed groups and displays them in a mural like format, allowing users to see a variety of news stories at a glance. The problem is that LinkedIn isn't really a network that focuses too hard on link sharing, and for many users the links on the front page may seem unrelated or in other cases - dated.

LinkedIn is introducing two new feature sets to help spice up the LinkedIn Today page, and I think they’re both going to help dramatically.
