With WLM you are Linked-In (Pun Intended)

Windows Live Messenger (beta 2010) can now link to your LinkedIn account! This brings your contact’s activities right to your social feed. LinkedIn contacts have their own group on your contact list, but they are integrated.merged into your existing contacts (where applicable) so you don’t see lots of duplicates
Having all your contacts in one place is a really nice benefit. There are so many social sites, and we tend to have different contacts on some, overlapping on others. WLM greatly simplifies this across the various networks.
If you haven’t connected services to your account for the new social feed, login to your Live ID and do it! If you have, take a moment and connect your LinkedIn account for even better integration than you’ve experienced so far! As I’ve said before WLM beta 2010 rocks! The improvements just keep coming. A few more social integrations and it would be all I need
