It's been super helpful when making quick lists (that I export) for invites to parties and special events. Hoping @ronjdub will pop over to talk more about it.
Just poking at this now. If this works as well as I'm fantasizing this could be really interesting. My linkedin account has become unusable in the last year due to so many VERY loose ties. Maybe this helps fix that.

@jberrebi, legit issue to consider. Our sincere hope is that Linkedin recognizes that as a team, for the past several years, we have only focused on trying to make these networks more useable and valuable to the end user. In this light we are never trying to siphon off users or build a new “uber” network so much as we take a user-focused view; in order to make it easy for them to get to the right people in any of the places they have connections or are looking to make connections. In fact anecdotally (supported by exit data) we send our users BACK to linkedin to do the “last mile” of connecting with new prospects that our users’ friends or teammates have referred. We actually want to create value for the network by first recognizing that insights about the connections and paths are in fact highly valuable to business users (and businesses). That said, if you’d like to help us make our case to the product team at Linkedin, shoot me a note. :) Love to know what you think about this.
