Networking With Trapit’s LinkedIn and Buffer Share Options

Looking for a new job or networking? Did you know Trapit’s iPad app has integrated LinkedIn sharing that makes building and maintaining a vibrant career network a breeze? 

If you’re anything like me you’ve probably already got some career related Traps. My information science and my information literacy traps provide plenty of articles and posts of interest to my particular career network. Whatever your career interests, Trapit will discover interesting gems sure to impress your colleagues.

To share to LinkedIn simply click the share icon in any view of the app, select the LinkedIn icon, authenticate with your LinkedIn account, add your custom message (remember, LinkedIn now supports “@” to members and companies), click send and voila, instant karma from fellow job seekers or impress that potential new employer. 

While LinkedIn share is a snap, sometimes during Sunday morning coffee-and-read-time I find too many awesome discoveries to share all at once (nothing worse than blasting your potential new boss with content overload). Not a problem. Use Trapit’s handy buffer integration spare yourself that faux pas.

Buffer automatically spaces out your shares overtime so you can maintain a healthy presence without annoying anyone and make sure your best discoveries don’t get lost in the shuffle.
