Typically, "walled garden" social networks are those whose data is available
only to members -- Facebook, for instance (profiles are now open to Google
search, but you'll see very little aside from the person's name unless you
join Facebook and become their friend somehow).

LinkedIn seems to have very low walls around its garden: public profiles
visible to search engines can be quite rich with data.
