LinkedIn has just come out with another fun way to visualize your social network and employment history via the “Connection Timeline”. It plots your history on a short timeline, and then lets you scrub back and forth across it to see your various connections at that time come and go. It’s surprisingly effective, especially when you see (as I did) someone who you work with now pop up from an old job (or school) that you never knew was actually there.
