A Most Interesting Business/Social Online Network: _Hoover's Connect_:
Hoover*s, Inc., a D&B company, announced the official launch of
Hoover*s Connect, a business networking tool that helps users get
introduced to and establish relationships with targeted prospects.
[snip]
Hoover*s Connect is designed to provide an effective, nonintrusive
way for its users to connect to a person through someone the prospect
may already have a strong relationship with and who is therefore best
suited to make that introduction. [snip]
Hoover*s Connect is easy to use. When the user goes to a particular
Hoover*s company record and clicks the "Connect" button, various
referral paths appear that highlight the strongest path within that
user*s network. The service allows users to build their networks
actively (by inviting colleagues to join) as well as passively (through
an Outlook plug-in that applies unique social networking algorithms to
automatically rate relationship strength).
