Thanks to the thousands of small business owners and professionals for submitting your questions to the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) through LinkedIn Answers on some of the most important issues you’re dealing with around health care. We appreciate the thoughtfulness and passion with which you’ve crafted these questions.
We’d also like to thank the members of LinkedIn’s small business committee (David Reingold, Donald Rossberg, Jim Locke, Abraham Jankans, and Rudy Sutherland) who helped pick the questions that were answered by the CEA chair, Christina Romer at a live web video conference this past week (see below video).

First off, thanks to everyone who attended the first LinkedIn Tech Talk session featuring the creator of SCALA, Martin Odersky, along with Nick Kallen of Twitter and David Pollak of LIFT. We had over 150 attendees at the event although we had originally planned only for 100. In addition to the audience here at Mountain View, we also live streamed the event to over ~1000 viewers, with over 140 of them viewing it live.
We’d also like to thank the following participants for submitting questions that drove the panel discussion: Parag Joshi, Vladimir Bacvanski, Pradeep Pujari, Mark Wong-VanHaren, Peter Simanyi, Aden Davies, Hernan Silberman, and LinkedIn’s Nick Dellamaggiore and Eishay Smith.

Some of you may have noticed the change to how and when your inbox shows up on your homepage: it will only appear when you have unread messages – but your inbox and your read messages are always available from the left navigation bar on the homepage. So, when your Inbox is empty and doesn’t display on your LinkedIn homepage, click through to your Inbox to check out your read messages.
Clicking through to the main page of your Inbox also reveals a new tabbed structure: all messages are easily accessible from the Received, Sent and Archived tabs. At a glance you can now see all your messages and easily drill down by applying a filter, for example invitations.
