I see this as a hack to turn linkedin into a research tool. But as the guy alluded to, he's pretty much breaking linkedin's terms of service. I think linkedin is a great tool that allows you to indirectly "ping" your business contacts. Better even than twitter. I expect the people who know me to be responsive. If I sent someone an email through linkedin and they didn't respond. I wouldnt be hap! If a client emailed me an rfp and I didn't even acknowledge it...that's a firing offense in my book! So is this awesome new research tool worth the danger of being unresponsive to the network and reputation you've worked so hard to build? That's for a far braver man than I to figure out.
