I just read this on the official blog. I don't own a company but this will be good for business owners who use LinkedIn a lot.
Quote:
Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of LinkedIn’s Follow Company button. Starting today, companies will be adding this button to their websites, making it easier for any consumer on the web to begin following companies of interest, on LinkedIn.
Well that's good news. For businesses, it's another way of maximizing your brand through linkedin. For members, it's a good way to follow company's updates.
