LinkedIn Gets Serious About Their "Follow Company" Feature

LinkedIn is about to get a whole whack of very valuable data.  The network, with over 100 million professional users, is giving those users the ability to follow and like their favorite companies, just like Twitter users follow and retweet their favorite celebrities.  The difference is that LinkedIn is full of this generation’s technology leaders, and getting to a million followers first on LinkedIn could mean a whole lot of business.  More after the jump.

LinkedIn announced today at their Conect:11 event in New York that they’re allowing companies to send status updates to that company’s followers.
