Quote : ‘It’s something Xing (a LinkedIn competitor, used to be Open Business Connections or something like that) had from day 1.’

I don’t know who invented it but it has been a standard part of Viadeo (www.viadeo.com) for a long time. Our principle is that you need to let people see you looked at their profile to see whose been looking at yours – that’s simple fairness. You can of course hide your full name – eg I could be Peter C.

There seems to be serial copying in this business

That ought to tell something to the thousands of aspirants hoping to start the ‘new business network online’ on the back of a few technological gimmics.

Neat! I wonder if this will provide any visual differences if viewed by someone in your network vs. outside your network?

Pretty funny the guy from xing claiming he invented this. This is not a new concept (business networking site ryze had this six years ago). Kudos for linkedin for not revealing the exact name without specific permission and for not revealing personal information even if people pay. They obviously think about this much more carefully than other sites.

Good to see Linkedin doing this finally.

It’s been on XING (previously OpenBC) for some time. However they have engineered it to encourage people to upgrade to the Pro account and is not enabled on all accounts (steals valuable ad space!)

It’s fun for a while but soon you will want to turn it off when people who try and sell you things keep visiting you so that you see their visit data.

I like it. It’ll be more useful once more folk turn on their name. It’s just a great way to choose to reach out or, worst case, to see the kinds of people who stumble upon your profile.

@ ##2

No, that is not required. LinkedIn offers you 3 options

Show my name and headline
Only show my anonymous profile characteristics, such as industry and title
Don’t show users that I’ve viewed their profile

So, you may choose the 3rd option…

Thanks for the tip. I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with LinkedIn.

Right now I’m back to liking it. But They have not yet convinced me to send them money, but I’m tempted…

LinkedIn: entérate de quién lee tu perfil…

La nueva funcionalidad, llamada “Who’s Viewed My Profile” ha sido introducida esta semana y nos permite saber quiénes has sido las últimas 20 personas en ver nuestro perfil….

Well, I have been all over the site and can’t find it, even on Michael’s profile, could they have pulled it already?

Not Really Seeing Who Is Reading Your LinkedIn Profile…

The links do not not take you to the actual person! Pretty lame.
In other words, it’s no more useful than a count of the profile views. If you are going to do something, why show it in such a half baked way?

Alright Mike notes that you only see this if someone has viewed your profile – so here is mine, http://www.link...m/in/allenstern

Please view it so I can see this thing.

What’s funny is that this is a horrible development practice. If no one has viewed it, the box should say that rather than leaving the box off completely.

next to useless. you have to be a paying memmber to view more than five, and in any case, not being able to see who it was doesn’t help. Ecademy’s service that provides an alert everytime someone visits your profile with a link to their profile is really useful. That’s what LinkedIn should be offering.
