Can anyone think of a good reason LinkedIn didn't mark their cookies as HTTPS-only? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Secure_and_HttpOnly
I'm done with LinkedIn. I've been on the fence about it for a year now. I get more recruiter spam than value. I'm also a bit too old for the schadenfreude that accompanies news of my overpaid friends getting canned. I'm running my own race these days and I've never been happier since I stopped comparing my lot in life to the few lucky SOBs I know that survived the cull of sub-prime. I think a better strategy is (1) y…
LinkedIn's value is not centered around your personal profile - it's about the other people that are linked to you and will always have an up-to-date CV/contact details for you. It is a self-updating rolodex, Outlook Contacts list, phone book, whateveryouwanttocallit. I really don't want to bookmark 300+ individual pages that all have different creative layouts, get moved, etc. My LinkedIn profile stays up-to-date, y…

If recruiters bother you so much, why do offer them bait? Just remove your CV and replace it with a link to your personal site.
I would have thought with Java, C#, objective C, php, node, etc that I'd be a good catch but apparently not!
I guess they didn't mark their cookies as 'Secure'. Oh well, the real story here is an app.net link at #1 on HN.
Looks like the app.net post was by a founder so I would take that with a grain of salt.
Edit: While I'm at it according to https://twitter.com/mikegreenspan , the submitter also works at app.net.

Thus I've never had more than minimal info on my linkedin profile. As of this writing, I only have my undergrad and grad school names listed. I don't think I even have my areas of study on there. Works perfectly as a rolodex.

Possibly, but that's for programmers. There are more professions out there.
I just closed my account too. The help page said that my account would no longer be visible on LinkedIn, but after closing and logging out, I still get the "sign up to see the full profile" bait on visiting my old URL (search result from Google).

linked-in's value is also linked somewhat to your curiosity to check who has viewed your profile.
Which is why I completely disabled it. Having the ability to see who viewed your profile seemed cool at first, but then again, it's useless and the downsides are great.
Can they actually snarf cookies from other sites you're logged into, or would they only be able to get at your LinkedIn session cookies?
