I thought it'd be fun to see how many members we can mutally connect on LinkedIn, and help each other grow our professional networks.<p>I'm an EIR at Sequoia Capital, and will connect to everyone on the list. I'm open to chat or meet and answer any questions you may have about Sequoia or Silicon Valley VC in general.<p>The results will be displayed, but not editable, at <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj6s1BtH3XlsdGZnczJFejNGSFdzOTlsckFDbTNOQ3c#gid=0" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj6s1BtH3XlsdGZ...</a><p>NOTE TO SPAMMERS: I'm seeding the list with a honeypot email, and anyone caught spamming the list will be publicly shamed.
Instead of adding people 1 by 1 from their profile connect button, you can send bulk connect message to more than 1 email addresses.
Linkedin -> Contacts -> Add Contact ->Enter Email Addresses<p>Dont forget to add me to your Linkedin connectioons. I am number 44 on the list.
To get the list of emails easily save the spreadsheet as a tsv and then run the following command on a UNIX system (replace hn.tsv with the name of the file that you just saved):<p><pre><code> tail +5 hn.tsv | awk '{print $5"@"$6}' | sort -u</code></pre>
people with URLs like <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=XXXX" rel="nofollow">http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=XXXX</a> do it wrong. Links like these offer me only to send InMail or connect through connections. You have to paste your custom profile url: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/YYYY" rel="nofollow">http://www.linkedin.com/in/YYYY</a>
excellent idea--appreciate your initiative and efforts. if i can help, please LMK.<p>note: to get a <i>custom</i> linkedin url (as mentioned in the OP), it takes like 15 seconds, just to to <i>settings</i> (upper right hand corner drop-down when you click your name).
