Choose Sent from the Inbox menu in the top navigation bar.
Choose the Sent Invitations tab
Open any of the pending "Invitation to connect on LinkedIn" messages you've sent to your friends.
Click Withdraw (the button below the invitation, next to "Resend")
I'm not sure about it, but the "withdraw" option does seem ...

You need to keep scrolling down the page. You don't need a paid account.
From the toolbar:

After the grey box summary, there will be all your profile sections, Experience, Languages, Skills, etc.
Each of your previous positions will have Edit next to them.
Click that and then you'll be taken to a page to edit just that ...

AFAIK there isn't a (native) solution to get notified when someone disconnects from you on LinkedIn.
However, I would also think it's inappropriate. It's like saying:
I no longer want to talk to you! Kthxbye!
Furthermore, what use does it have, if that person actively decided no longer to be in touch with you, it's unlikely you can change his mind (or ...

You would need to encode the encoded space - effectively, it looks like the LinkedIn.com website is unencoding the %20 to an actual space, which it then runs through a verification check which fails, as spaces in URLs are not supported.
So if you want to have a site with a URL like:
http://www.example.com/?id=this%20rocks
You'd need to enter:

Very similar to the link you provided:

LinkedIn announced that they shut down the GitHub application, as of 26 November 2012. Now, LinkedIn only offers this, for sharing from Github:
You still have the option to share your code from GitHub on LinkedIn
by sharing links on your homepage or in groups.
In other words, you can share links from Github the same way that you share links from ...

It looks as though the support for hResume you read about for LinkedIn is only in how your profile is viewed. This is not a feature for importing your hResume content.
Source: LinkedIn Launches hResume
In my own interest, I submitted this question to LinkedIn support for clarification and the final response confirms that hResume formatted importing is NOT ...

Edit your Professional Headline. Enter something like "Self-employed - Internet Consulting".
Edit your profile Summary.

Unfortunately, in order for people to see your recommendations, they must be a first connection. All others can see the number of recommendations you have, but that is it.
My suggestion to you would be to connect with the recruiters and individuals that you want to see your profile. That is the best solution.
Also, LinkedIn gives you an option that will ...

Yes, that is possible. There is a per-group setting to control the frequency of digest emails. There is an overview for all groups from which it can be set in a batch-like fashion:
Settings (upper right, in pop-up under your name) -> "Email Preferences" -> "Set the frequency of group digest emails".
Change the popup for one or more groups from "Daily ...

Tweetdeck seems to serve some of your requirements:
TweetDeck is your personal real-time browser, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google Buzz and more.
However it makes no mention of xing.
As an afterthought, Power.com seems to meet, again, only some of your requirements (with the added ...

If he was your 3rd degree connection, this does not mean you now have 'friends in common'. That would have made him a 2nd degree (you->common friend -> him). What you are looking for is a person whom he and another one of your friends have now in common.
Or to put it in different words - a 2nd degree connection which at least two of your friends share.
I ...

This can absolutely be done. It's very simple.
Go to your company page. Click Admin Tools >> Edit Page. One of the first option is "Company Pages Admins". Here you can either select that ANY employee with the company domain in their email can edit the page OR you can select specific users (type in their name to add them to the admin panel). Publish your ...

To my knowledge, there is no all-in-one removal tool that is able to suggest who may be a good candidate to boot from your network (something similar to ManageFlitter for Twitter).
However, I can suggest two tools to assist you with trimming & organizing your network (which I personally use):
InMaps: Visualizes your network and identifies ...

LinkedIn will do this for you - no need for regex filters!
On the list of jobs, whether they are within a group or just on the main LinkedIn job search page, the checkbox menus on the left side of the screen allow you to filter jobs by location as well as by company, industry, date posted, and many other criteria.
You can either have the location be part ...

SkillPages seems to rely more on skills than professional network reach which LinkedIn started with.
The formality seems to be lower in SkillPages as well.
As the about page and video suggests, it's a site that is used to find people with a specific skill set which may not be possible in professional networking sites like LinkedIn that rely on more resume ...

Annoyingly, you can't:
Profiles cannot be removed once they have been created.

You can use an application like Selective Tweets or TweetPo.st so your tweets ending with hashtag #fb will be automatically imported to Facebook, while all others will be ignored.

You could create an email filter to move those specific reminders (or even all linked in reminders) to your trash or junk mail folder.
Without having an account with Linked-in it's going to be hard for linked-in to track any information about you, including that you don't want to participate. Unfortunately, as with most social media sites, you've got to opt ...

As I understand, your scenario is supported.
To do this, an existing admin of the company must edit the company and select "Designated users only" under Company Pages Admins. Then, he/she can add admins that they are connected to.
See question "How can I add Administrators?" in this LinkedIn FAQ:
How can I add Administrators?
From the “Overview” ...

In short, no it is not possible for LinkedIn to use Google's cookies to suggest new contacts for you.
Cookies for most sites just contains an id value that really only means something to that particular site's server. You can view what values are contained in a particular cookie in most browsers. In Chrome this is located under the Developer Tools ...

You can click the "See More" link at the bottom of the Jobs pane which opens up a new page with an expanded list. On that page you can use the faceted filter boxes at the left to narrow the listings. Unfortunately, however, there is no way to permanently save your preferences in this regard.
Note that the "Jobs you may be interested in" feature is still in ...

Pipl is the first service of this kind that comes to my mind. However, I doubt that it’s possible to find all your accounts across all the web, but Pipl is a good start.
NameChecklist might also help you.
NameChk is similar to NameChecklist as well.
