So here I am at home messing around with Google Chrome - the jury is still out on whether or not I like the new browser - when I decided to place a couple of vanity searches in order to monitor organic positions and listings. I do this every once and while - check to see where my web site and blog rank in regards to specific queries - and to my surprise I came across something new... at least for me anyway.

I placed a search on Yahoo! For "Karl Ribas" and came across this pretty cool profile listing courtesy of LinkedIn:

Pretty cool, right? The listing shows my photo, my location, which industry I work in, where I'm currently employed, and my special talents relating to my work. How exciting.

Again, I'm not sure if these types of listings are new or old, but it's the first time I've ever seen it and so I thought I would share. Do you have a LinkedIn account? Do you have a similar profile listing that shows up for when your name is searched?
