I sent the following note to the Groups Customer Support. The answer is a nonsequitor. After sending my email, I opened three new groups. How could the groups directory be "closed" when I created three groups?

I have seen group logos that are not listed in the list of all groups.

Why?




Hi Dr. Walker,

Unfortunately, at this time the LinkedIn Groups directory (http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=groups_directory) is closed. We do thank you for your patience as we improve this portion of the site for Groups. Thank you for contacting LinkedIn Groups.

Thank you,

Angela B.
Groups Lead, Customer Support

They must have split the development of the Groups section into two separate projects. Currently the group management portion is available, up and running while they are still working on the group listing portion. With this already launched administration part anyone can create and manage groups, but no one can browse or search existing ones. In fact, the current listing seems to be rather old. I suppose they will launch the newly created group listing feature in the near future.

You are such an optimist, Matti. I have not seen LinkedIN do anything fast - other than suspend a user for IDY.
