Social media network for professionals, LinkedIn has announced it was rolling out the new LinkedIn Groups to all from today.

It said on its official blog post:

We’ve rebuilt Groups from the ground up, making them available right in the main LinkedIn website and app. Why does this matter? Over the past year we’ve focused on bringing conversations to the forefront on LinkedIn, adding new features to make it easy for you to talk to your professional communities – things like being able to record and share videosmessaging from anywhere on the site, and seeing when your connections are online.

The new LinkedIn Groups experience helps users take advantage of all these conversations tools with a seamless, faster experience. Here’s how:

  • Engaging conversations: To give you richer ways to participate in your groups, you’ll now be able to post original videos, multiple images, & other rich embedded media. You’re also able to reply to comments & edit your posts & comments.
  • Always stay up-to-date: Responding to members demand for a better way to get into engaging conversations & activities within Groups, LinkedIn has added these notifications. For example, you’ll be updated when someone comments on one of your posts in the group, or when new people request to join a group you manage.
  • Access anytime, anywhere: Easily get involved in your groups on-the-go from the LinkedIn iOS & Android app. Admins will also be able to take all group management actions from mobile, such as messaging group members, accepting requests to join, or removing any posts that break group rules.

LinkedIn said there was more on the way.

This is just the beginning of the new LinkedIn Groups experience, and we’re looking forward to adding even more features in the coming months, such as new moderation tools for admins.

One of the new features will be that users will be able to start & join conversations in their Groups right from the main feed. They will be able to reply to comments or share an interesting article without having to navigate to their Group.
