LinkedIn Contacts

LinkedIn, that social network for business that you posted your resume on and don’t visit very often, is trying to change that. They are releasing a new stand alone iPhone app for your LinkedIn contacts that serves as a personal assistant for managing and interacting with your work contacts. It plays well with Google, Yahoo, and Evernote. While LinkedIn has always let you…in fact, pestered you…to import your contacts to its platform as a one time thing, now you can integrate your contacts as live links. That way, when something changes about a contact on any of your other accounts, it’s automatically updated on LinkedIn. You can sort your contacts by company, location, and a number of other criteria, and there’s a notes section you can update like many free standing contact managers.
