RedofM3, my guess (only a guess) is that LinkedIn has been shoring up many 3rd party API access since last year. You used to be able to connect some CRM apps to but now I think only Salesforce is allowed. Perhaps this is a way to ensure the posts are coming from recognized servers. Net neutrality anyone?

Found it;

The response I received from the Jetpack team might help others who are frustrated by this issue:

LinkedIn is only allowing WordPress.com (which is where all Publicized requests come from) to make a certain number of new connections per day, and our developers are still actively working with them to get that limit increased. You are welcome to continue to try connecting Publicize to LinkedIn, and hopefully we will have a resolution soon.

I read a comment from a Jetpack support agent (sorry I can’t find the page now) that if you use Jetpack as a plugin on your own install (as opposed to using WordPress.com) that LinkedIn now throttles the submission count from self hosted sites, so it has now effectively become a non functioning feature.

Same here. Does nothing.

3rd. cheers.
