Note that you must convince LinkedIn management that your application adds significant value before they will work with you. I quote from their web site: "How to develop for the Platform "The LinkedIn application platform is not publicly available for all developers. We evaluate requests to develop for the LinkedIn platform from partners who have clearly compelling value to our users and who can rigorously follow our privacy policies. We are looking for applications that provide clear business utility to LinkedIn users. LinkedIn is not a place for sheep throwing. There is equal opportunity to build applications that apply to all LinkedIn users as there is to develop applications that apply to just a targeted portion of the user base. If you think you qualify and have a compelling user value proposition, let us know using the form below." Note the key phrases "partners who have clearly compelling value to our users", "clear business utility to LinkedIn users", and "have a compelling user value proposition". In short, be prepared to clearly demonstrate a value add to LinkedIn before putting any effort into this. LinkedIn *isn't* Twitter, and "any old hacker who can code to an API" isn't going to get on their approved list. For that matter, I suspect it's only a matter of time before Twitter adopts a similar policy. > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > > -- M.

In fact, most of them were pretty steamed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
