What is the best URL for LinkedIn?

The default URL would look like- "linkedin.com/pub/yourname/29/890/2b9/". Whereas the URL of any in-crowd member would appear as: "linkedin.com/in/their-name." With a URL like this, you will look like a savvy LinkedIn user, and the URL will look much better whenever and wherever you post it. Enough of the waiting now.

Linkedin has changed the scheme, now it works in this way:

linkedin://profile/[id]

You can jump to a profile with:

linkedin://#profile/9999

I just tested this on my iPhone 5. Works like a charm.

There's more conversation here, but not much content. http://developer.linkedin.com/forum/link-open-linkedin-profile-browser-ios-linkedin-app
