Last year, LinkedIn released its Groups feature that allowed any user to participate in discussions about certain topics. More recently, they allowed users to follow groups, "like" discussions, and other similar features. All of these features were exclusive to users of the social network, but as of today, they are now open to the public.
Now the administrator of each group can decide if they would like it to be found in search engines, as well as on LinkedIn. It is no longer required to be a member of each group in order to view it. When this option is chosen, every group member will be notified so they then can decide if they would like to remain a member of the open forum. Only future discussions will be publicly viewable, but all past ones will still be disclosed for members only. These features are relatively similar to those on Facebook, as LinkedIn becomes accessible to those who are and are not members.
