LinkedIn getting Rid of Twitter App on 1/30
Dear Larry,
At LinkedIn, we want to provide a simple and efficient experience for members like you. So from time to time, we take a look at our set of features to evaluate how they’re being used by our members. Part of this process sometimes means we decide to eliminate a feature, so we can better invest those resources in building more great LinkedIn products.
Recently, it was decided that the Tweets application, a LinkedIn feature that you've used at some point, will no longer be supported as of January 31, 2012. Starting on that date, you will no longer be able to post recent tweets in a module on your profile or view recent tweets in a separate module on the home page. However, you can still display tweets on your profile by binding your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts and then tweeting with an #in hashtag.

I dont' see a big problem with LI getting rid of the APP. The App would slow down the my page. As long I as can still show tweets on my profile and still show my "follow me" buttons then I am ok with the changes.

Dear Larry,
Earlier, you may have received a message from us about our Tweets Application. We could have done a much better job communicating about this change, so we want to clarify what this may mean to you:
1. We are not eliminating the ability to send updates between your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. You can still go to your Settings page and choose to send either all tweets or only tweets with a #in hashtag to your LinkedIn status updates. It's up to you. Again, tweets imported from Twitter into the LinkedIn network updates stream will not be affected.
If you haven't yet joined your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts,here's how you do it.
2. At the end of January, we will not be supporting the standalone Tweets Application on LinkedIn (see image), that displays tweets from everyone you follow on Twitter on your LinkedIn homepage. As of January 31st, this module will no longer be available.
If you have any additional questions, please visit our Help Center.
Thanks,
LinkedIn
