Announcing LinkedIn Showcase Pages

Showcase Pages are dedicated pages that allow companies to highlight different aspects of their business and build relationships with the right community. Whether it’s a brand, a business unit, or an initiative, following a Showcase Page will provide you the updates you are most interested in.

Looks like a good way for large companies with different business areas to better focus their LinkedIn presence.
