Interesting, but I personally don't see a need for it. If I haven't talked to one of my contacts in a while its most likely because they have nothing to offer me and I dont need…

Contacts screen blank without LinkedIn sign-in
From 2 comments
It doesn't work for me. The screen that should be showing my contacts is blank. Tried reloading, skipping. No fez.

gingerjoos on HNI don't get it. Sounds like you want me to target one person to spam or stalk each day. But if I already don't talk to these people now then why should I do it through this…

Why post to HN before the pitch?
From 1 comment
You posted to HN before your pitch? Did you need the site live to pitch? Isn't that risky? ...unless you needed HN traffic for that voting link, then it makes sense I guess ;)
