TextIn: LinkedIn Commands for Feature Phone Users

For the 80 percent of mobile phone customers who are still using feature phones, fear not: LinkedIn Mobile software engineer Sudeep Yegnashankaran has your back. Yegnashankaran described his creation of LinkedIn work-around TextIn during the professional networking site’s monthly Hackday competition in a post on the LinkedIn Blog.

TextIn, which is currently only available to users in the United States, is compatible with the following commands: Invite (inviting someone to connect on LinkedIn), Search (search the professional networking site’s more than 100 million members), Profile (look up a LinkedIn profile), and Update (post an update to LinkedIn connections).
