LinkedIn is now offering RSS feeds for network updates.

The feature allows users to track updates and connections across their LinkedIn network via their favorite RSS Reader. For example the feed shows when people in your network connect with other people, make recommendations or update their LinkedIn status.

As Ben Barren points out, it’s a handy way of keeping up to date for those who live in their feed readers “because if its not in my google reader it doesnt exist to me, so now I’ll see what people are doing.”
