Recently I was having lunch with a business colleague and we were discussing how best to use LinkedIn and the subject of spam posts by connections came up.
I have chosen a random LinkedIn update from my page as an illustration. Just hover your cursor in the top right hand corner of the update and the text ‘Hide’ appears.
Click on ‘Hide’ and you have now hidden all updates in the future from that contact – confirmed by a message from LinkedIn.
To check to see a complete list of contacts whose updates you have hidden or to switch their updates back on is a simple matter of a few clicks in your ‘Privacy & settings’.
You are then offered the choice of looking at the types of updates that you would like to see on your page or a list of contacts whose updates you have hidden. A simple click on ‘show updates’ releases all the updates back onto your page.
