The Internet Sourcing Community

LinkedIn now has a "Personal Information" section!

I just saw this Booleanites, have you? Not sure if it's been there but I swore I didn't see it yesterday! Maybe it's been around for a while and am slacking! So, what does this mean for us finding contact info on profiles? Sometime ago I was ploying with idea of how to get into vcf files on LI but didn't get very far (as in use a Google hack to find profiles with vcf files - use the file type syntax and with your added critieria of course so you can get to contact info directly). Now that LI has provided this section for those members who wish to list we should explore it for it's search capabilities. I wonder if these fields are searchable the same way that a current title or zip or radius is? Like use the "hand coding" in their advanced search (tks Glen) if you really want to find someone in a specific city versus the Greater ABC Area or if seeking particular folks in a given area code. Of course this is all dependent on if the information is provided by a member! But worth giving it a shot! Always experiment! (tks Irina) Tried a few things but am not getting very far with this so I'd be curious to hear the experiences of others.
