I don't think most people can see anything there other than that he worked for Google, since we're only 3rd degree connections.


Right, here's the summary he has on his profile verbatim then:

"Mr. Nelson invented Google Chrome OS while working at Google in 2006. He has 19 years of experience in cloud computing and Big Data analytics. He has written two books and many magazine articles on Java and cloud computing. He has extensive experience in search, SEO, and eCommerce industries, building highly scalable web services, and leading world class engineering teams at such companies as Google and eBay. He holds a Masters Degree in Applied Mathematics."


Does it say when he left Google?


According to his profile:

Member, Technical Staff Google, Inc. January 2006 – January 2008 (2 years 1 month)


MTS is the name that was given to folks who hadn't been slotted yet. So either he got slotted and didn't like his title enough to list it, or he never got slotted (which would be very odd for 2 years).


Linkedin is pretty confounding in that regard, because usually you can see at least a public profile of a linkedin member if you're not logged in. Usually I open an incognito window in Chrome with Apple+shit+N and read the profile there. You could also open a 2nd browser where you're not logged into linkedin. Nonetheless, I hate it when sites try to base features around the technical shortsightedness of their customers.


Wow, that is pretty terrible that logged-in users see less data than the public.
