What is a LinkedIn Group?


According to LinkedIn – use Groups to:

• Quickly discover the most popular discussions in your
  professional community.
• Have an active part in determining the top discussions
  by liking and commenting.
• Follow the most influential people in your groups
  by checking the top influencers board.
• See both member-generated discussions and news
  in one setting.
• Find interesting discussions by seeing who liked
  a discussion and how many people commented.
