Social-network-for-biz-types LinkedIn has begun offering a Facebook-like feature that notifies a user when another member connected to their network views that person's profile or accepts an invitation, The Register reports.

The company said in a blog post that LinkedIn users would start to see a "notification flag" appear at the top of the page announcing when it has something new to share about who's been doing what with their profile.

"This new feature is all part of our ongoing effort to make it easier to keep engaging discussions going with your network," said LinkedIn.
