Hi Jo,

The situation has definitely calmed down as the applications can now be used, but for a site that is active in social media, they definitely could have handled the issue a lot better. Why not just come out and let everyone know that an issue existed and that they were working on it?

Hi Neal, It looks like it was a glitch on LinkedIn's part. They did email me back telling me they were aware of the situation. However, you could still add them back in under applications and I did and had no problem. Wrote a blog pot on my blog as well.
