Limited images to choose from when posting to social specifically LinkedIn

I've been running more sponsored updates on LinkedIn and ocassionally dropping in a landing page created in marketo for a specific asset (white paper, solution breif, etc.). The issue I'm running into is the inability to choose the correct thumbnail in LinkedIn. i.e. When I go to share this page: http://www6.nasuni.com/the-best-backup-is-no-backup-solution-brief.html
The only image that comes up as a choice for me to select is the customer logo. I'd obviously like to choose our asset thumbnail. Is there any reason this is happening? Is there a workaround? The image file for our asset is a PNG, though I don't see that mattering. 

Any help would be much appreciated as this is really cramping my sponsored post advertising style!

Hey Louis,

LinkedIn has some very specific parameters for images which can be used in the share.  It's best to declare a canonical image for linkedin as described in the 'og:image' section here: http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/setting-display-tags-shares
