Yesterday LinkedIn launched their own application platform. And there is some good news for those who already have existing applications on other sites, as they have decided to go for the open standard of the OpenSocial application framework. In other words: if you already have applications on MySpace, Ning, or Bebo you can easily port your existing apps to the LinkedIn.

One of the first few applications to jump aboard is London based Huddle who integrated their online collaboration tool straight into LinkedIn.
Clearly, OpenSocial applications on LinkedIn are an opportunity to reach a different kind of consumer, and more importantly get in contact directly with other businesses. Current companies that have already joined the LinkedIn application directory are Amazon, SlideShare, Google, Wordpress, and a few more.
