Visualizing your LinkedIn Contacts:
"LinkedIn. People like it and people hate it….or in some cases people have no idea what it is. I ignored the first few requests I had to join it – Now I try to add at least a contact a week.
For the uninitiated, It’s Facebook for business…Minus all the pictures of your friends kids and tales of drunken parties.
On the heels of Facebook’s map of users you have this:

Just a couple follow-up notes, from some questions I received today on LinkedIn Maps. The graphic created is not spatial in nature - the groupings are similar relationships, not where the contacts are located. So, most of my groupings are related to particular employers - with not as much overlap in between. It is interesting to see the connections that DO overlap - those are particularly well-connected and network-savvy folks.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are arbitrary - assigned by LI to try and group the connections.
