Have a look at the screenshot. I received this linkedin message and was surprised about the very last part.

She posted a "clickable" hyperlink in a linkedin message! Normally if you try to send someone a link it will just show the text and the receiver of the message won't be able to click through to the website.

Any has an idea on how this works?

Cause I always hated that you can't send links to people on linkedin. If there is a way to do it, there is a lot of potential in there.

Haha made my day

Can't believe that there are still people who use this method to self-promote.

well, i'm not sure then, i'm not using linkedin at all, i just thought if 2 different people - the last poster in each thread - say the same on different forums, there must be some truth to it, but maybe it has been changed since then

have you tried to use html code? something like this:

HTML:

<a href="http://yoursite.com">Click here</a>

because for instance on backpage, if you just post an url, it won't be clickable, just with this html code

but i'm really just shooting in the dark here
