Editor's Notes

From these sources, we’ll automatically pull in the details of your past conversations and meetings, and bring these details directly onto your contact’s profile.” SachinReckhi

  21. Miles By turning this feature on, LinkedIn imports your iPhone’s address book to LinkedIn’s servers including detailed contact information for5 all your contacts. LinkedIn will then use this information to suggest relevant connections for you and also to help you browse, search, and organize your contacts on LinkedIn.
  22. Miles Once selected, your LinkedIn Connections will be added to your iPhone Address book for future and easy access. No more copy and pasting from your contact list and into LinkedIn to have all the important info handy.
  23. Miles – This feature accesses your phones calendar and sends information (like attendee emails and meeting time and place) to LinkedIn’s servers to match meeting attendees with LinkedIn profiles. It DOES NOT send your calendar notes field to LinkedIn. No more cut and paste operations to get the latest information on the people you are going to meet with. It is now all one click of your finger away at any time.
