You can now publish your profile in PDF, but still no API.

BTW, what about photo? This is not Hi5 or MySpace, but with almost 500 biz connections on LinkedIn I would really like to have an image help me remember some of them :-)

An API would provide greater exposure of LinkedIn and provide opertunities for people wanting to exploit the data. LinkedIn may miss some opertunites themselves but I would expect that they would get ample benifits.

I think LinkedIn is “intentionally” Web 1.0 in most ways: Fashionable in a retro kind of way - the purpose probably being to cater to the 40 somethings.

One thing you might want to try is to alter the url of your public profile - it makes a lot of sense to do this for general public visibility too.

You can have a look at my public profile to see what I mean if you’d like:

BTW if you get anywhere on the API please let me know. I got a great idea waiting in the wings ;)

Cheers,

Thanks for the note, Mike. Either I missed that back when I set it up initially, or it’s a new feature. Either way, it’s good to get all the data out there.

Make sure you check all the checkboxes when you edit your Web Profile:
http://www.linkedin.com/profile?editwp=&trk=tab_web

This will enable you to show your work experience + more.

Thanks for the tip Sandy. I had the full view enabled, but it seems to only give summary data instead of my full profile. To see everything in the profile — it seems — you have to log in to LinkedIn.
Is there a setting I’m missing?

You can publish your entire profile on your public version: there’s a page with your web profile where you can add any or all of the sections to the public view. The default is just the basics, but you can put in current and past positions, etc.

Thanks! Like I was saying, I’d be glad to see LinkedIn emerge as the platform for career info.
For an example out of many, it’d be great to see mashups with craigslist, monster, etc. where people’s “looking for a job” ads would link to their LinkedIn profiles.
