LinkedIn operates the world’s largest professional network on the Internet with more than 90 million members in over 200 countries and territories. LinkedIn has created wide opportunities for many people. There are also a number of people who are very curious to know how to view LinkedIn profile as someone else. Linkedin has also introduced the Linkedin share button for websites,blogs to enable their readers and visitors to share the articles of those websites easily on Linkedin. LinkedIn is a place where busy and on-the-go professionals rely on their network to stay informed and make decisions. There were nearly two billion people searches on LinkedIn in 2010.

    I tried pasting this code at both the places you mentioned. But it still won't work. I have a google plus badge on each post as well, so i tried modifying the location of the linkedin image too. So i tried eliminating the google badge code but it won't go, even without the code it still shows! Is there any other reason it won't work or am i missing something.
