(It's now May 2009). Every 'Pope's death' (as they say here in Italy) I can update my status, but that's about it. I find it stalls at 'retrieving from ad.doubleclick.net In the meantime, I can't even contact them thru their customer service!!! I live in Italy, and have tried Firefox, Safari & now Explorer.

That is not PR. People who come to TC mostly already know LinkedIn. You will not be gaining any new users when there is a downtime PR story on Techcrunch.
