LinkedIn Adds 'Share Quote' Option for Sharing Article & Newsletter Excerpts

LinkedIn / Share Quote Option

LinkedIn made updates for Articles and Newsletters. First, the platform has added a "Share Quote" option, which allows users to highlight text from an article or newsletter. By tapping on the highlighted text, users can generate a post that includes the selected quote and content attached to the post.

Second, LinkedIn has revamped its content recommendations for them as well. Previously, the platform suggested additional content from the same creator, such as past editions of their newsletter. Now, it recommends relevant content from other creators, likely based on keywords and topics.

Why It Matters: The "Share Quote" option makes it easier for readers to share notable excerpts from long-form content, potentially increasing the visibility of creators' work and helping them reach new audiences.

The change in content recommendations aligns with a broader trend in social media to connect users with more relevant content. While this update can enhance overall content discovery and exposure for a range of creators and brands, it may also diminish the visibility of individual creators by directing readers to other content rather than encouraging deeper engagement with the creator’s own body of work.
