The online professional network has introduced a mobile feature that shows information about people's careers in emails being read on iPhones. </p>\n<p>The tool, called Intro, pulls details from the profiles of LinkedIn's more than 238 million users so the recipient of an email can learn more about the sender. </p>\n<p>The information will be limited to what the email senders already allow anyone to be seen on their LinkedIn accounts, unless they already have granted the recipient broader access through a connection on the service. </p>\n<p>The feature released Wednesday works with Gmail, <a href=\"http://www.siliconvalley.com/topics?Yahoo\">Yahoo</a> ( <a href=\"http://markets.financialcontent.com/mng-ba.siliconvalley/quote?Symbol=YHOO\">YHOO</a>) Mail, AOL Mail and <a href=\"http://www.siliconvalley.com/topics?Apple%2C%20Inc.\">Apple's</a> ( <a href=\"http://markets.financialcontent.com/mng-ba.siliconvalley/quote?Symbol=AAPL\">AAPL</a>) iCloud when any of them are plugged into the iPhone's built-in email app. LinkedIn plans to update the feature so it also works with Microsoft's Outlook.com and Exchange email. It's available at https://intro.linkedin.com. </p>\n<p>Intro also works on Apple's iPad, although the feature isn't tailored for that device. LinkedIn eventually will release a version of Intro designed especially for the tablet format. </p>\n<p>LinkedIn imported the technology powering the Intro feature from its acquisition last year of Rapportive, a startup that had already been mining online social networks to include personal information in correspondence sent to Gmail accounts. </p>\n<p>Intro is part of LinkedIn's push to make its network indispensable on mobile devices as more people manage their personal and professional lives on smartphones and tablets. </p>\n<p>LinkedIn says about 38 percent of the traffic to it networking services now comes through mobile devices, up from just 8 percent in early 2011. LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner predicted Wednesday that mobile devices would be reeling in more than half the service's traffic at some point next year. </p>\n<p>As part of its effort to make its network more alluring on mobile, LinkedIn also released a new version of its service's app for the iPad. </p>\n<p>LinkedIn's strategy has been paying off since the company went public nearly two-and-half years ago. The Mountain View company has consistently been delivering earnings that exceed analyst projections, helping to lift its stock by more than five-fold from its initial public offering price of $45. </p>\n<p>The shares shed $3.60 to $241.35 in Wednesday afternoon trading, as the broader markets ticked down.</p>\n</div>", "entities": [], "favicon_colors": [{"color": [0, 56, 107], "weight": 0.1552734375}, {"color": [245, 249, 250], "weight": 0.073974609375}, {"color": [148, 173, 193], "weight": 0.020751953125}], "keywords": [], "published": 1382538901000, "provider_name": "The Mercury News", "type": "html"}
