LinkedIn Company Share Version 1

This handler allows you to post a comment and content to the Company page that is associated with the given Company Email Domain. This handler uses the api/secret key and oauth user token/secret to authorize the users account so that information can be posted to their account. To get these values, you will need to create an application on LinkedIn under the account you wish to post information to, because these tokens are just valid for that specific account. Two calls will be made to LinkedIn when this handler runs - one to retrieve the company id and one to post the information to that company's page. Any errors that occur during the posting process will be caught and re-raised by this handler.
