What is LinkedIn status?

Your status starts with your profile.

A LinkedIn status update will feature your photo, your name, your title, and your company. Because this is true, your status update is only as good as your LinkedIn profile. Your LinkedIn profile should clearly indicate who you are — get a professional photo!

Also to know is, who can see my LinkedIn status?
