On the Linkedin platform, mentioning other people on a status update is done by writing '@' followed by the name of the person. At this point, Linkedin will show a list matching the name and the user can pick a person/company from it.
Is there a way to mention people while using the Linkedin API?
For example, with the Twitter API, it is just necessary to type the @name and the system will do the job, this doesn't seem to work for Linkedin.
