Great to see this on Product Hunt! We've been furiously working on this app for the last few months. To help improve how we can let employees find, learn about and contact other coworkers. Would love to hear what you think!

Not sure if you’re thinking about this, but the market for company intranets/directories is *sorely* lacking. It’s especially difficult if you’re a rapidly growing startup with remote employees and you need a place to access anyone’s information without having to have your engineering team spend precious time building one out from scratch. If that’s the direction you’re thinking of heading in, I’m on board.

@amelielamont Thats a big usecase that the app can serve quite well. Try it out for your company and please let me know if you have any feedback!

We are thrilled to introduce LinkedIn Lookup! We found that corporate directories are outdated (and not mobile!)... and wanted help LinkedIn members to be more successful by building an easy way for our members to find, learn about, and contact coworkers in a very intuitive way. You can search by name, title, skills to find the right coworkers you need, and message them for free (i.e., no InMail credits or Premium subscription required!). Please check it out and let us know how you think!

Could be cool. It seems quite similar to something like Chatter. I wonder is LinkedIn will allow it to integrate in Active Directory and such.
Ankit Gupta
@blake Definitely something we are considering for the future

This would have been great when I was at LexisNexis - it was hard to keep straight what everyone did, and the company Active Directory description was notoriously out of date

@afhill thanks for trying, and please let us know your feedback!

New app by LinkedIn helps you find co-workers and learn about what they're working on so that you can connect. They also have an Android app that's coming out soon. @aahntastic should be in here a bit later to tell you more about it.

Its pretty cool. Would be even cooler to get referrals integrated in it? ;)

I'm sure this will give boost to user base of LinkedIn. Only bottleneck i see if updated and incorrect informations of people and need to push them to keep it up to date

I liked the way it shows the coverage of your corporate network in terms of various schools they've come from, various domains they've worked on and multiple disciplines in our own company!
