linkedFA to Go Mobile
linkedFA,
the first social networking Web site that enables financial professionals to
leverage social media compliantly, announced the beta release of a mobile
version of www.linkedFA.com.
Reported by Nicole Bliman
linkedFA launched the mobile site to meet demand based on feedback from its 10,000+ users and will serve as a prototype for an iPhone app currently in development. The mobile site was designed to work on the iPhone, Android and the iPad, and users are automatically routed to each device-specific version by visiting www.linkedFA.com from the device.
Similar to the standard version of linkedFA, the mobile version allows users to share updates with Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter and linkedFA simultaneously while capturing and storing all correspondence via linkedFA’s proprietary compliance engine.
“The increase in demand for a mobile solution made the immediate release of a mobile-specific version of linkedFA inevitable. Mobile access to social media sites is up 46% year over year, and we have already seen an almost 300% increase in iPhone use on linkedFA in the last month alone – it was a logical choice,” said Stephen Prosser, Director of Business Development.
