	A Visit To Lornitropia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		LinkedIn isn’t taking away a precious feature, they’re fixing a public performance metric that encouraged behavior that, on average (not in every case), is detrimental to the overall “health” of the network and conflicts with their positioning and primary value proposition to their primary target market.
		I don’t know if this is what Linkedin expected, but I believe that many users who would have been quite content at 200 or so connections, will now feel a certain pressure to jump to the other group.
		Linkedin announcing improvements, including the limiting of connection visibility to 3rd degree connections.

	Padawan.info: LinkedIn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		LinkedIn is about finding people for projects or collaboration, and helping your connections do the same.
		LinkedIn makes your network more efficient, letting you keep in touch with the people you know and find the people you don’t, but who are only a step away.
		LinkedIn works around those lines (and the padawan draws this from his own fresh experience of self registration at the site, which does not allow him to do much at this point):

	Alex de Carvalho: LinkedIn finally starts to "get it"
		LinkedIn Corporation, operator of the world's largest business network, today announced that it has signed an agreement with America Online, Inc. to integrate its AIM(R) service into LinkedIn to provide LinkedIn users with AIM presence information, so that they can easily see when their LinkedIn connections are online and available for real-time communications.
		LinkedIn profiles are "static" biographies which rarely get updated, while blogs are "dynamic" personalities that evolve continually, according to the author's rhythm of posting.
		As such, LinkedIn continues to be a better place to referring people to for an online resume and endorsements, rather than for strengthening your relationship with them by communicating with them.

	LinkedIn User Manual
		I think the greatest challenge for LinkedIn users will be to think about and determine, after careful and sober analysis, what their most valuable knowledge and experience happen to be.
		Linkedin allows people to make the first step toward reaching the ideal of a united mankind, by enabling them to network with others and stay in touch with them.
		LinkedIn can be useful to you at many levels, and the specific level depends on where you are in your career strategy.

		I am not able to view anyone's profile, from auguest 5th linkedin has made a lot of changes to its site and put a lot of features, restrictions, this could be the one of the reason.
		LinkedIn said it could take 3-4 weeks so I am hoping to hear back by the end of the year at the latest.
		I'm relatively new to LinkedIn, but look forward to testing it and seeing what it can do, would any of you share success stories with me? I'm a younger guy looking to gain entry level positions on the track to management.

	Discovering Identity: LinkedIn Identity
		LinkedIn is actually an interesting case of user-managed Identity sharing.
		Some users, like myself, choose to bare their souls on their LinkedIn profile so people can find them based on any facet of a diverse background.
		I can find people in the LinkedIn universe who are up to four contact steps away from me. Theoretically, that is over 1.3 million people in my network (about half the LinkedIn total), according to LinkedIn calculations.

	Keelhauling: LinkedIn Introduction
		Through a recent alliance agreement, the LinkedIn job networking system uses the power of SimplyHired's database of 4,000,000+ job openings and the social networking (really a misnomer, since LinkedIn is business networking, but "social networking" is the big VC buzz word) of LinkedIn to produce a powerful and fascinating hybrid.
		LinkedIn is about networking and that means extending your circle of contacts into new areas, and forging relationships with people that you currently do not know.
		LinkedIn for Groups is made up of groups that are officially recognized by LinkedIn, and among other things allow you post a group logo in your profile.

	LinkedIn Services B2B
		Business networking firm LinkedIn has moved beyond its peer-to-business job search market, which created a network of 2.4 million users in just a few years, and has added a referral-powered directory of business service providers.
		The idea then was to create a site where job seekers could capitalize on their past experiences and build relationships with others who may help advance their careers, Guericke said.
		As for LinkedIn Jobs, there is currently a $95 a month charge to list jobs on the site, but it is free for job seekers.

	LinkedIn - Joi Ito Wiki
		LinkedIn has both individual and corporate reasons for not wanting to reveal the path.
		Having used both Friendster and LinkedIn, I would argue that the former emplys a few methods that, taken in concert, give me a far better sense of the person at whose profile I am currently looking.
		LinkedIn is designed, at its core, to be intensive on the web of trust.

	Networking site LinkedIn causes buzz -- but can it be profitable?
		All three belong to LinkedIn, a rapidly growing online networking service whose ability to connect people with common friends and work interests helped persuade the trio to invest in the company before it even started to generate revenue.
		What's more, she says, LinkedIn has contributed to the hiring of at least four other employees at the San Mateo-based company.
		LinkedIn also helped Robert Cerbone of Kensington, Md., find a management job at Nextel Communications but he isn't sold on the concept.

	LinkedIn Expands Its Connections
		LinkedIn plans to siphon some of the hundreds of millions in revenues top sites like Monster Worldwide (MNST) and Yahoo!'s (YHOO) hotjobs.com are pulling in with their digitized classifieds and other services, and take share from the multibillion offline recruitment industry.
		LinkedIn is betting that nifty six-degrees-of-separation quality will give it an edge over sites like Monster.com and hotjobs, which have turned off many potential employers by inundating them with far more résumés than they could possible need or want.
		LinkedIn does boast some heavy-hitters: VCs from Sequoia Capital and Greylock Partners, as well as angel investors Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal, and Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, use and promote LinkedIn.

	LinkedIn looks to premium services for profit - Software - News - ZDNet Asia
		But LinkedIn intends to make more than 50 percent of its revenue from upcoming paid services and expects to become profitable in the second half of next year.
		Roughly 10 percent of LinkedIn members are what the company calls "power users." They come nearly every business day and include financial analysts searching for exclusive information about companies and professional recruiters seeking job candidates.
		Recently, LinkedIn began a beta test for reference searches that enable users to find people on the network who have worked with a job candidate or potential business partner.

	v-2 Organisation \| news \| Social sites: LinkedIn or locked out? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I used LinkedIn's request mode to ask Joi to introduce me to another contact of his, a woman named Rebecca who happens to be CNN's bureau chief here.
		Only to be slapped in the face by LinkedIn's mandate to "upgrade my membership" (to paid status) in order to reply to her.
		Unfortunately, by not being particularly upfront with their users about what functionality unpaid membership affords them, LinkedIn exposes its users to the social and professional risk of snubbing someone - however unintentionally - and therefore commits what I have to regard as a real user- and customer-experience blunder.

		LinkedIn was getting overfished by people contacting our members indiscrimately outside of the introduction mechanism provided by LinkedIn.
		This makes LinkedIn practical for many more recruiters who felt it was impractical to have to spend hours inviting people just to increase their search space, to contact people four degree away by relying on three intermediary people to make introductions and having themselves to make introductions for all the people to whom they connected.
		Linkedin has consistently increased features to make it easier for us to access valuable contacts.

		Yup, journalists are now using LinkedIn as a channel to source expert comments and opinions for their stories.
		Moreover, it’s also wise to use tools like LinkedIn to make it easy for journalists you don’t know to find you, because as good as it is to become an expert, it’s better to be a public one.
		I just learned that conferences which use LinkedIn’s group service enable their attendees to see who else is going and view each other’s professional profiles.

	MediaPost Publications - LinkedIn Debuts New B2B Networking Service - 07/19/2005
		The basic LinkedIn Groups functions are available for free, but for a fee, members of the group will have the group's logo displayed on their profile, linking back to the group's main page.
		LinkedIn Marketing Vice President and co-founder Konstantin Guericke said the major appeal of the premium service is the promotional aspect.
		This feature is the third premium service that LinkedIn has released since its launch in May 2003; in April, LinkedIn announced a business-to-business local search offering designed to connect its network of 2.4 million professionals and business owners with in-area service providers such as lawyers and accountants.

	How Meeting People Online Becomes Science with Social Networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In an attempt to be a master of one trade, LinkedIn uses the same features found in social networks: profiles, searching, connecting.
		The request must be approved at every point along the way, so if you're trying to reach someone three degrees away, it must be approved by the two contacts in between you and the person you are trying to reach.
		Also, even though all three social networks mentioned here were in "beta" according to their respective companies, LinkedIn was the only one that didn't display any latency or timing-out issues during the evaluation period.

	padawan.info: LinkedIn bloggers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		More seriously, I was looking for bloggers amongst the LinkedIn crowd, and stumbled on the limitations of its search engine, which, for example, is incapable of dealing with plurals.
		The webloggers are using LinkedIn to be, "linked in", like tribe and friendster but the crowd is looking for professional/work contacts and people are using it like a social sphere -- which is why you think the keywords are not being utilised effectively.
		The professional nature of LinkedIn is obvious, but people may tend to use it differently, as you hint.

		The essential by-product of this, other than a higher position in search results and a fitter profile, is that I get to meet new people in the process, which is why I do all of this relationship stuff anyway.
		I believe that the fact that two people who are in LinkedIn and both want to connect to each other, provides enough social context to provide a "weak tie", one sufficient enough to produce effective multiplication of network effectivenss, a la Granovetter.
		The very purpose of LinkedIn is to manage the "extension" of your network through a chain of weak ties.

	How to find a job and connect with others using LinkedIn
		But, as you say, LinkedIn can be a bit intimidating for new folk, so I'd be happy to take you on a brief tour of how I use it to make new connections online.
		LinkedIn recently changed its system to make it easier for you to connect with people with whom you don't have a direct two or three hop relationship, which is quite beneficial when you've just joined the system and only have a handful of connections.
		Now here's where it gets interesting, because LinkedIn is based on the premise that "hopping" from connection to connection is the best way to network, so my results are actually going to be different to yours since I have a different network of formally connected people on LinkedIn.
