Linkedin Q&A Mashup

Submitted by Paul on Wednesday, 14 February 2007No Comment

Just because I am primarily managerial, I still like to get my hands dirty sometimes, out of a sudden desire to get involved rather than evaluating from the outside (useful as that is). Hence my efforts to create a mashup robot (using openkapow) to generate RSS file from my linkedin Q’s & A’s. As I am a firm fan of the site, I am hoping this effort will at least spark their interest in the extensibility possibilities of linkedin.

Quite generic at the moment, and based on an existing robot that did the basics well (original author). Feel free to try it out yourself. The absence of linkedin responding to requests to provide some kind of syndication, gave me the nudge I needed to work on it.  It gave me a feelgood factor - being more proactive in the web movement that I find inspiring.
