It's difficult to tell by looking at the screenshots that LinkedIn has posted to there web site, but it appears that LinkedIn in getting ready to release a new Outlook toolbar that would offer users functionality similar the Plaxo.
If I'm correct, one of the results of the new toolbar would be the ability for users to see a quick snapshot of anyone that sends an email into their in box. Think about how important it will be to craft the perfect LinkedIn summary and profile once users find out that every email they send out could display that summary and a link to their profile on LinkedIn.
I posted an article last September entitled Plaxo your ATS suggesting that ATS vendors work with Plaxo to make sure that no candidates contact information is ever lost. Now it appears I'll have to promote a LinkedIn relationship as being the best value add to ATS products.
I've emailed Plaxo to see if I can beta the new toolbar and I'll be sure and post my findings if I get the chance to test it out.
Cheers,
Scott Kahle
