As you are probably aware, LinkedIn has released quite a few new features lately. One new set of features was the upgraded Group functionality that we have been eagerly awaiting. It is a great start for sure, and I hope they continue to upgrade it (For example, I wish it was easier to tell what was new since my last visit, and I hope they include these new Discussions in the searching capability).
Our group is quite active on the new Group Forums. Over 2,900 of our members have joined our LinkedIn Group, and in the first week since the launch, we have 19 different “threads” going already. You can see our group here:

Also, I ran across a great blog from the LinkedIn Team, with a good video explaining some of the new features in their new release… you should check it out:
