SocialMinder Manages Your LinkedIn Connections

by David Heyerman on September 22, 2008

  • SocialMinder is an innovative new service allowing users to target which connections within their LinkedIn network are getting a little stale.
  • The service maps out connection history by searching through one’s email headers within their email account.
  • In it’s beginning, invite only, alpha stage, the service is only offering compatibility with Gmail.
  • Connections are split into three descriptions; In touch, Losing touch, and Out of touch.
  • In hopes to build and develop relationships, the service offers users a once a week, business news update that directly relates to their personal connections.
  • SocialMinder pledges to never contact or spam your connections.

This service sounds very useful, anyone tried it out yet?
