I can understand LinkedIn want to test and evaluate things before providing access to the API, but could you at least provide us with a draft version of the API, allowing us to identify whether you guys will be offering something useable/open or whether this remains a closed 'we-are-open-to-partners-only-microsoft-alike-api'.

I'll stay tuned. Just kind of hoping that at some point it will be opened up to developers as a whole and not just select companies. I completely understand where it's at right now and what you are doing. I don't have a problem with that. It's just not knowing if there will ever be more than the big companies that get to use it, that makes it rather odd. Thanks! Thanks Mario… I’ll stay tuned.

We've received a ton of requests that @lucian goes through and depending on the fit, will be responding to them. The only reason @lucian can't respond to each and every email personally is the volume of emails we receive on the API topic. Stay tuned to the blog for announcements. @joseph

The first announcement was back in Oct - Nov last year and were now to April 08. I've contacted the developers@linkedin.com address multiple times but have never even gotten a reply of "Sorry, not at this time...". I think a question everyone has been asking... when will this be available to developers? It all sounds great in videos and screenshots, and I think we are all now clearly interested in building some great applications around it.

If you do not take care of the customers when they sent email to the support - all these will become a castle built on a deck of cards. I suppose 4 days is enough time for a customer support person to respond to an email!!! This is all great – but Linkedin customer support appears to be very unresponsive.

I am a professional speaker and facilitator. Naturally, I've a website ( http://www.erwinvanlun.com ). I would love to have the LinkedIn testimonials feeded to my website. When someone adds a testimoinal, it's automatically feed to my site. When this could be part of a premium LinkedIn plan, I would certainly make use of an offer like that. Is such an offer in the pipeline? Cheers Erwin Hi Lucian,
