Announcing Discussions for LinkedIn Groups

LinkedIn is launching several new features this Friday. LinkedIn Groups will support:

• Discussion forums: Simple discussion space
• Enhanced roster: Searchable list of group members.
• Digest emails: Daily or weekly digests of new discussion topics which members may choose to receive
• Group home page: A private space for your members on LinkedIn.

This is truly a step in the right direction for LinkedIn as it adds more social networking elements into its arsenal.
