LinkedIn should create tools to allow its users to speak and to see their contacts online. A kind of Messenger or Skype would be a great asset to the company. LinkedIn must create tools to have its users logged in more time.

The development of such tools may be expensive and may demand lots of work, but as the company is growing fast: 15 million users in 2008, 45 million users in 2009, in few years, the company will reach 100 million users, and mostly of its users, will prefer to use such tools insight, instead Messenger or Skype.

The other possibility, easier, is to make a deal with a third company to provide such service or to create an alliance with Messenger or Skype to provide their services. The possibilities are endless; such tools would allow LinkedIn to have space for conferences, presentations, seminars, work interviews, among other services.
