Have you ever heard about LinkedIn or ever create a profile on it?
Those who are working as a professional are definitely familiar with LinkedIn, which is a great platform for individuals to build up their career through social media.
When we talk about Social Media Marketing, LinkedIn is one of the most effective channels that help professionals to generate leads through promoting a brand or an online business. LinkedIn contains more than 380 million registered users and the network allows organizations to connect with the world with such a huge audience.
Recently the team of LinkedIn has been working on a new feature that allows their users to add a poll or review to any post. The new poll feature was identified by an expert during the search of finding unreleased features by social media apps.
What Is New in This Feature?
According to the user’s experience who uses this feature, it is a little bit similar to twitter polls. With this LinkedIn poll feature, users can create a simple poll with one question or a query and put up to four options or responses. And another benefit of using this feature that the polls can last more than two weeks, which is simply twice to twitter polls that maximum last for seven days.
Basically, other leading social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, allow polls but it is only able to be created or shared in the stories that will be disappeared after 24 hours.
However, LinkedIn has not officially announced anything about their new feature like when it will be released. Moreover, the company has quietly published several documents about how to use polls when the feature is eventually launched that is giving a hint about it. But the feature is available on LinkedIn and will eventually be rolling out to users.
