The New York Times is serious about social media. They’ve just announced a tie in with LinkedIn to share stories within your network and get targeted news within your dashboard. The NYT also launched their own social network recently.

In a brilliant move that’s sure to make both newspapers and social networks around the web jealous, the New York Times and LinkedIn, the leading US social network for professionals, are announcing a content partnership tonight that could substantially increase the value for users of both sites. The announcement will be made at the top of the hour, but the integration is live now.
