Put your LinkedIn connections on a map!

2010 September 5
by Jw

We are looking  for alpha testers of a mashup, which puts your LinkedIn connections on a map. It will then zoom in to *you* and subsequently revisited all your connections.

Get a first impression from the slideshow below.  Are you willing to test this app? Please send an email and you will receive more information. We are looking for people with an international profile, also a few from South America and Asia (since my network does not get me there…yet).

For those technically interested: the app uses a mixture of techniques from PHP, ArcGIS API for Flex, ArcGIS Webservices (Locator) and the LinkedIn API. Expecting a public beta in a weeks time… The “we” from the first sentence refers to my son and me. More info on that when you sign up…

      Ruth, I will check -tonight- if that is possible, but it was not the aim of our app to connect it to several webmapping solutions.

      Will you send to info to test the app as well.

      Gruss nach Freising.
