LinkedIn Profile Pictures in Search

[sandlappercreative]

Has anyone else noticed profile pictures alongside LinkedIn profiles appearing in search, similar to websites with Google authorship enabled? I saw this happening briefly today across multiple verticals and the images seemed to be a bit larger than authorship images. It was also strange that this was happening for some profiles and not others (number of connections appeared to be irrelevant). I didn't get a chance to grab a screen cap before it was gone, but I thought this was interesting and hadn't seen it discussed anywhere else.

I noticed that my LinkedIn profile picture is showing up higher in image search these days. I didn't notice anything close to what you report. I don't really pay much attention to my name surname queries, but I can say I'll do so a couple times a month. It's likely a fluke of attribution.

I've read about this but haven't seen it happen with my own profile yet. Do you know what's contributing?  I'd love mine to show up but can't get it working yet.
