Linked In

Linked-in's "People you may know" back end is scary-good. Usually its "people you may know" list has 2 of 3 people I know, sometimes 3 of 3 and usually always at least one I know well. And these aren't all just classmates who happened to attend the same school at the same time (of course I know them, duh, there were only 150 of us) but it includes the spouses of good friends at church, people I do know, but have absolutely know idea why Linked-In would have connected me to them. I'm sure there must be more people who live in Mountain View and Sunnyvale who don't attend my church.

So I don't know what they're doing, but they've got some mighty good AI programmers. Presentation could use a little work... if I click on somebody I do know (without opening in a new tab) there's no good way to get back to the other two other than the back button through several forms. I can't go "forward" to get to the same recommendations, because the next time I arrive at that screen there's more new people I know.

Now, I'm not looking for a job, so I haven't followed up on any of these people. When I notice an invite from a friend, I usually click it if I happen to be not-in-crunch mode at the time, but I'm not actively using LinkedIn for anything.
