Contacts

Hi,

In the contacts on the Iphone, you can add [social profiles] like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

I use these a lot. For business wise, I find it useful to see twitter and LinkedIn updates.

There are several ways/formats in how to enter the link to the LinkedIn profile.

And not all of them open directly the LinkedIn profile.

I know three types of format to enter the link to the profile: This is in the field [add social profile] in the native contacts app on the Iphone.
When adding contact details.

1) www.linkedin.com/profile/view*****
2) linkedin://#profile/*****

3)https://www.linkedin.com/in/*****

When entering these formats in the [social profile] field and I select <LinkedIn> as the source, the links do not work.
I get an error message in Safari on my Iphone.

When adding these links in the field [Homepage] (as in a web address for websites), the links open perfectly. Both into Safari as well as in the LinkedIn app on my Iphone.

My question is:

What is the correct way (correct as in the working way) to enter the link to the profile of the contact on LinkedIn. Using the field [ add social profile] on my Iphone?

This is important to me, because I use these fields together with some of my apps (like Tempo Smart Calendar and Sunrise calendar), these can lookup the contacts that I meet.

Before the meeting I am able to view their latest Tweets and I can view their LinkedIn profile, so I get an idea who I am going to meet.

Sorry screen prints are in Dutch. :-)
