Quora announced a new LinkedIn sharing feature today, enabling users to directly share their Quora contributions on their LinkedIn profiles.

“Quora is a place where people share a wide range of knowledge and experience with others, and many users have already shared stories about professional opportunities they’ve received due to their contributions on the site,” a spokesperson for Quora tells WebProNews. “Now, with the use of LinkedIn’s new profile, Quora is making it easier to share your answers with your professional network to demonstrate your expertise and to give a fuller picture of your professional biography and identity.”

“Answering questions on Quora demonstrates your knowledge as well as other qualities — helpfulness, empathy, a sense of humor, and confidence,” says Quora’s Richard Henry in a blog post. “And Quora’s use of real names makes LinkedIn a natural partner for both of our communities; on both sites, your real-world reputation is tied to what you post.”

To enable LinkedIn sharing from Quora, just connect your accounts from the Quora settings page.
