Okay, the day Plaxo finally comes out with the access and sync API platform for contact management, the kids at LinkedIn announced that they’re going platform also. In honor of that and the fact that my SiteOps manager calls me a “LinkedIn contact whore,” I whittled down my stack of business cards and sent another blast of LinkedIn Haikus. Shortly afterward, this was my Inbox…
C’mon Mario, that’s worth blogging at LinkedIn. 😉

Here was a response from an old classmate from Caltech:
Good to hear from you.
LinkedIn provides a unique
way to find old friends.
Your new connections
strategy using haiku
is really quite whack.
And from the first time, someone at O’Reilly:
Who knew you could write
in this tried, ancient format?
I am glad you did 🙂
Sweet!
More about the LinkedIn API on Mario’s blog.
Interesting. If you have a 20MB VCF file, LinkedIn rejects it.
Solution: split into two files.
