people with URLs like http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=XXXX do it wrong. Links like these offer me only to send InMail or connect through connections. You have to paste your custom profile url: http://www.linkedin.com/in/YYYY

Thanks, I made a note to that effect on the form. If anyone wants me to edit their url in the spreadsheet, please post the new linkedin url here.

Instead of adding people 1 by 1 from their profile connect button, you can send bulk connect message to more than 1 email addresses. Linkedin -> Contacts -> Add Contact ->Enter Email Addresses

Dont forget to add me to your Linkedin connectioons. I am number 44 on the list.

#44 Can you fix the email username and domain columns for me. Please also read my comment above for connecting all profiles at 1 time. This might be useful if you include this on the page.

excellent idea--appreciate your initiative and efforts. if i can help, please LMK.

note: to get a custom linkedin url (as mentioned in the OP), it takes like 15 seconds, just to to settings (upper right hand corner drop-down when you click your name).
