LinkedIn goes public

Or at least your LinkedIn profile can now be public. Yes, this may be trival to some, but I think it’s an excellent step. By default your profile is not exposed, but now you can ‘turn-on’ how much you would like the world to see. You can pick your URL extension as well. A few of the reasons I think this is beneficial:
- Users can now put this info in their email signatures, that’s free advertisng for linkedin
- People can throw this on their personal business cards. I don’t come across many people with websites listed, just their email, but this is pretty valuable information to augment your typical business card.
- It allows people unfamiliar with the service to get a better understanding of what it has to offer.
