The profiles are all personal, so I can find out all I need to know about where someone has previously worked, but not much about why I would want to deal with them. To that end, it's usefulness for business is limited -- unless I am hiring of course. I think we'll be seeing more competition for LinkedIn as real business reference/search sites get established.

People make serious contacts with the Linkedin. It is not for when you are looking for a job, it is way way before. I blog about uses of Linkedin sometimes and how useful it can be for professionals. One important aspect is that if someone is going to find some information about you on the web, let it be what you put there. With Linkedin's high page-rank, it is a good choice. @#14 Everett.

I can count the number of friends that use RSS on a regular basis on one hand, and those that know what it really is on two hands (case in point, comment #12). @Charles (#12), You should probably read the article to learn what this feature actually is about before commenting about another service that has some unrelated feature (ok, both utilize RSS).

Also, what's wrong with issuing a press release for a new product or feature? personally, i think facebook's new privacy settings and linkedin's company profiles are both newsworthy. Who exactly is insecure? Facebook copied linkedin with their "People You May Know" (Friend suggestions) feature. Linkedin launched "People You May Know" several months ago. It's sad that facebook didn't even bother coming up with a new name. Many people seem to forget that Linkedin launched "network updates" months before facebook's once controversial, now heralded "news feed". Yeah, Linkedin's version initially only showed profile and new connections updates, but all facebook did was take it a step further, and display all activity. I'm a fan and user of both sites, both serve different purposes. Don't see why you need to put them at odds with each other. @ #5, take it easy, the rss feed isn’t geared for the average linkedin user (more so for users of google reader as duncan mentions).

Are we that curious? I mean, I can easily see all my connection updates when I login. I don't think it is that exciting to get RSS Feed on John getting recommendations from Jim or Jim just connected with Sally (who i have no idea). These things are best suited to be on the website when someone logs in. In fact, I usually ignore it anyway. Do you guys notice something, LinkedIn seemed to be on a Press Release or Feature Release War with Facebook lately. A week ago, Facebook announced their Privacy Settings targeting business users or professionals and LinkedIn that same week announced their Company Profile. Early this week, Facebook announced "Friends suggestion or recommendation" feature and now, LinkedIn is announcing RSS Feed. Is someone feeling insecure?
