LinkedIn Fixes Years-Old Stalking Problem

LinkedIn has had a long-standing stalking problem, as AOL Jobs reported last year. For years, some users have complained of being harassed through the system. But LinkedIn's controls were largely of an all-or-nothing approach: to be invisible to one person, a user had to forgo many of the potential networking benefits.

Things appear to have changed. A LinkedIn representative emailed AOL Jobs to say that the feature was finally made available yesterday.
