Keven, I am not seeing this. Is there some setting I need to modify or am I just missing something obvious?

Nick, when saying not seeing it, not sure what you mean. If it's the news section itself, I see it on my LinkedIn homepage and assume everyone gets same thing.

If it's seeing traffic from LinkedIn, the blog posts being displayed at LinkedIn are going to need to come from what LinkedIn has determined to be influential blogs and that are posting on subjects relevant to the respective LinkedIn user.

Actually, not everyone gets news. Many companies are too small to have news about them, so only people who work at companies that have relevant news stories about them (and related companies/competitors) get news right now.

The good news is the news feature is getting more sophisticated, and soon will be available to all users on many different topics beyond company news.. stay tuned!

That's really interesting Junkie.

Think about LexBlog then. I am getting news displayed to me and I work at LexBlog with 12 other team members.

LexBlog is getting news displayed at LinkedIn for each of our employees for one of two reasons. One, because LexBlog is getting mentioned in news stories - which we do regularly because of my blog publishing and social networking. Or two, because we publish a lot of content on various stories relevant to LinkedIn users- all from this blog.
