 * On June 7, 2017, we are updating LinkedIn’s Terms of Service - our [|Privacy Policy] and [|User Agreement] . These updates to our terms will let us introduce new features, while continuing to give you control over how your information is used. ||
 * While I encourage you to read the full terms and my [|blog post] about the changes, below is a quick glance at what’s new. Our goal is to increase the value you get out of LinkedIn, but you can also opt-out of these new features, if you’d like. ||
 * * **Increased [|visibility] of your LinkedIn Profile** - Service partners will show your profile to their users, similar to the way your profile shows up in search engines, so you can be more easily found for opportunities.
 * **Easier to share your achievements with your network** - We’ll [|suggest] positive and public professional accomplishments, like new patents or publications, to add to your profile so others can see.
 * In addition, here’s two more new features you can choose to opt-in to: ||
 * * **Productivity bots to improve communication with your network** - New automated systems will use information in your [|messages] to suggest responses, meetings, ice breakers, or insights to help you have important conversations more easily.
 * **Easily meet up with other members** - You’ll have the ability to see members [|nearby] who have also opted-in, so it’s easier to meet up when you’re at a conference or out for lunch.
 * If you’ve not already heard, we are now a [|part of Microsoft], but our services are still provided under a separate Terms of Service. We hope you find value in the updates we’ve made. If for any reason you don’t agree to the new terms and would rather close your account than opt out of specific new features, you can do so. ||

Misc
Ron: I am fairly strict about people I link to, mostly those I have worked with in the past. Those who have impressed me the most receive a testimonial. Sites such as this appeal to those who wish to create virtual social networks. That said, wouldn't it be helpful to have a site more on a par with something like LinkedOut which would allow people to raise red flags about colleagues who do not pay on time or fail to make good on their promises?
