On the flip side, I'd like to know how they seem to consistently miss one of the most important pieces of information about my career: I'm leaving the U.S. soon. I'm planning to emigrate in the next three years, either to Australia or New Zealand. I've made a few LinkedIn connections with folks there (hi, Duncan and Steve!). I've joined LinkedIn groups for software professionals in both countries. I subscribe to Google Groups for the same purpose. I regularly search LinkedIn's company listings for software companies in both countries that I'd like to keep my eye on. I have literally come right out and told them this in feedback about their apps.

LinkedIn has access to all of this data about me that really should be setting off alarm bells in their recommendation systems, and yet it's not happening. I'm constantly given recommendations for companies, groups and jobs I might be interested in in various areas of the U.S., and none of them take that fact into consideration.

How can they miss this?
