Hi Today there are many options for social media connections and to compromise with quality depends on the company. I think the most successful social media efforts are those that are driven by passionate people who love people and who truly want to change the way their organization operates, not by people

Some changes made to our site recently resulted in Syrian users being unable to access LinkedIn. In looking into this matter, it has come to our attention that human error led to over compliance with respect to export controls. This issue is being addressed tonight and service to our Syrian users should be restored shortly

I don't think it is a network error, because i tried ultra surf and the search worked fine, i also tried another ISP without the proxy bypass program and the result was the same 403 Forbidden……… what do you think the problem is?

Well done to everyone who pushed for this…Gaith, Jillian York, AngryArab… and the rest of us who made some noise.

Pleasantly surprised to see the response on Twitter and the blogosphere… and even more by LinkedIn’s U-turn.

Also not to forget the effort of Jillian York from the HP who took the story from Global Voices Online Copy post from ArabCrunch linkedin post:
http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/2009/04/18/syria-linkedin-kicks-off-syrian-users/

Also The famous Arab American As’ad AbuKhalil of political professor of science at California State University, Stanislaus and visiting professor at UC, Berkeley, posted about this too here: http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2009/04/blocked.html

moreover your comments on AC and ur tweets also might be behind this.

I don’t think it was a “Human error”, but they felt shame after posting about it in ArabCrunch, because Anas contacted them and they replied in an ugly way.

The blocking is finished now, however I still get:
“Access to this account has been suspended.”

I’ve also contacted them to see what’s going on.

Wow, what a quick response, I really appreciate Linkedin effort to fix this issue and for their apologies, I now admire Linkedin even more.

This level of professionalism proofs that Linkedin is a trustworthy place on our profession network
