Leslie Chen — May 28, 2011 — Lifestyle
Make use of your professional connections even more efficiently with LinkedIn's Connection Timeline. Developed by Gordon Koo, the feature lets you visualize the information found in your profile.
LinkedIn's Connection Timeline creates a visual out of all the connections you've made throughout your career, mapping them out onto a timeline. This way, you can actually see where you met whom and when you met them. It can be a great tool to reconnect with past colleagues or to see in which position you felt most integrated with the company. The factor that makes this social networking function stand out is the use of time, which other social sites tend to lack.
Making your your connections easily and cleary accessible, LinkedIn's Connection Timeline is like a scrapbook but for your professional life.
