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).
