Business professionals can now build their travel itinerary and put it on their mobile device. Synchronizing the entire travel plan with the phone has just got easier. WorldMate has recently integrated with LinkedIn’s API to give users the power to connect with business colleagues in their destination city.
Users can now easily communicate with their entire LinkedIn network, share their travel and meeting itineraries, notify their business contacts when they arrive in their destination city, and search for contacts by city. In fact, members can quickly access professional profiles of their colleagues before walking into their next meeting.
“This WorldMate integration is a perfect synchronization of our two companies’ strengths and goals,” explained Adam Nash, Vice President of Search & Platform Products at LinkedIn. “LinkedIn’s mission is to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. The Worldmate integration extends our mission by allowing members to access their professional networks when they’re on-the-go. WorldMate has taken an innovative approach to our APIs, extending and tying together the LinkedIn experience to both web and mobile.”
The LinkedIn integration with WorldMate offers users a bevy of new tools to manage business connections. The app brings forth a quick view of nearby LinkedIn Connections within the WorldMate itinerary, and the ability to scan for and connect with colleagues in the same town. Additionally, a mobile pop-up displays which LinkedIn Connections are in town upon arrival.
The new app for Blackberry can now be downloaded from the official website of WorldMate.
