Wink doesn't index any profiles that people have set to private. Of course, there are legitimate reasons why you wouldn't want to be found or searchable, but all social networks allow you to control that. Here are some privacy resources.

Here is the direct link to either remove your public profile (which is very limited to begin with) or to add more information from your LinkedIn profile to your public profile via simple check boxes: http://www.linkedin.com/myprofile?editwp=
BTW, it seems that http://www.linkedin.com/in/matt is still available, so you better get it before another Matt gets it for his Web profile :-)

Wink also has a couple major flaws with their technology that greatly reduces the usefulness of the people search. Mainly, they can't tell if two different profiles are of the same person (repeated results), and they also can't differentiate between people, bands, companies, tv shows, etc. More on that here:
