(Example: from the 2,000 connections I have, I would like to select 300 or so to get daily network connection updates from). Is something like this available currently or perhaps in the works?

Linkedin badly needs a feature, where i can limit access for individual connections of mind. Eg. I dont want all my connections to be able to access my list of connnections (I only want some of them to be able to acccess it). Can you develop something like facebook's limited profile, where i can choose the users who can access my full list of connections and those who can't. Currently is all or nothing, which is not very useful. Thanks. Was trying to find the right place to post my suggestion.

When I first enter LinkedIn it is never there. So try clicking on Answers or people, then Home... Good luck!

For example, registering business trips could tell us who, from our network, we could meet in that trip. Then, If a person goes for some event, like Cebit, she would know who would also be there... Also it would be nice to see my network spread on a google map. But first you would have to ask everybody to put in their GPS coordinates.

Dave -- I'm not positive, but I think you do have to wait for Google to re-index. Should happen within a week or two. Mark -- I'm not the Product Manager for News, but I'll pass your comments along to her. I know they're working on more customization and I suspect they'll provide a way to hide it.

It's messing up my screen with things I really don't want. It is about some company I've never heard about. This week it returned after vanishing, blissfully, for a week or so; prior to that it was about a different company I've never heard about. Just give me a way to disable it, please.

My profile has disappeared from ranking since I updated it. Let me know Hi:

In fact, because everyone else's questions were answered, it appears as if her question was deliberately ignored. I've noticed other blog posts where responses containing questions about the "Who's Viewed My Profile" information disappearing have gone unanswered as well. Could be coincidence I suppose but could someone please just answer the question? I’d really like to see an answer to Allison’s question.

Kindly bear with us and we'll be updating the blog with more news on LinkedIn News this week. Thanks for your patience, guys. @susie, Quick thought: you should be able to get what you've been looking for through one-to-one messaging. Have you checked it out? Status is definitely the easiest way to let your professional network know "what's up" in your world. Thanks for the feedback. Keep em' coming! @jb,
