LinkedIn has launched social a news product for business users, LinkedIn Today, Fast Company reports.

LinkedIn Today allows members to access their professional news through three different lenses - by their connections, industry, and the broader global professional network.

Users can search stories by news source or by industry. By selecting "Online Media," for example, we can see that the top story is about LinkedIn Today, and that the story is trending in the Marketing & Advertising, Internet, and Online Media industries.

Users can also check out their top headlines on LinkedIn's updated iPhone app, and on Twitter feeds for each industry.

LinkedIn Today only has 22 industries, but the product will expand to include more of the service's 115 listed industries.

"What we are focused on doing is not just limiting you to an activity stream. The whole point of products like LinkedIn Today is to keep the pulse on what your network and industries are talking about," says Deep Nishar, LinkedIn's Senior VP of Products & User Experience.
