when i search for HN it displays it at 8th place after some irrelevant punk band and an obscure town in Montenegro.
When i search for my name (as i always do to test search engines) it doesn't show my linkedIn profile with 500+ connections at all. Even Bing learned to find it.
Summary: Not usable (yet).
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoThanks. HN gets a disambiguation page. Arguably, Hacker News should be higher. In fact, it's on my list to re-visit the ordering by popularity. It does a bit of this now, but of course could be improved. What's your name? I should actually be promoting LinkedIn pages, so this may be a bug. I'd love to check it out.
- krainboltgreene 17y agoNot only does it not show my LinkedIn profile, but doesn't show: My Google, Blogger, Tumblr, Stack Overflow, or Facebook profiles. Google does all those except Twitter and Tumbler (Stack Overflow is on the second page, sadly). Search: "Kurtis Rainbolt-Greene" I'm certainly not an important person but this is a very specific search. Edit: HA! It actually shows one of my LinkedIn "friends" 30 listings down. Awesome.
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoWeird bug. Your LinkedIn should be first now.
