View your LinkedIn profile in style with ProInsights for BlackBerry PlayBook

By Adam Zeis on 6 Jan 2012 10:14 am

ProInsights for the BlackBerry PlayBook is a pretty awesome way to view your LinkedIn profile. The app is beautiful from front to back and really shows off the power of the BlackBerry platform. ProInsights makes your LinkedIn profile fun to look at (no, really) as it shows off the various views in the Connection Explorer.

Card Deck: Has the look and feel of a rolodex. Flip through a business-card view of your connections.
Mosaic: Take a trip down memory lane and leaf through a photo-album of your connections
Bird Eye: Get a bird's eye view on your connections plotted geographically on a map. You might just discover that you have a contact in Uganda you had added ages back!
Spring Graph: Gives you a closer look at your Inner Circle. View your contacts in node clusters that link to you by the number of connections that they have. Move your connections around in this highly interactive spring-like view!

While ProInsights will run you $9.99, if you're at all a LinkedIn user it really is amazing to use this app. As the app description states: ProInsights is a powerful application that "reads between the lines" of your LinkedIn profile, churns out meaningful insights and presents them through stunning visuals. While I do wish it was a bit cheaper, fans of LinkedIn will love it to pieces. Check out more at the link below or keep reading for more screenshots.

Great! I'll definitely buy this app as soon it's available for my PlayBook.

Looks beautiful, but I don't use LinkedIn nearly enough to justify $10 just because it's pretty. If they drop it to something like $5 I bet people would be lining up to buy this.

Wow! This is a pretty sweet looking app, but my use of LinkedIn is not sufficient enough to justify a $10 app either. Now if they intergrated my Contacts from my 9900 into it and gave me the card interface as well, differentiated the two card types LinkedIn vs Contacts, I would so pay $10 for it. then when SMS comes out for the playbook, you could simply BBM, SMS, Email, Call or whatever the person of interest. THAT would be cool!

+1!

+ a whole lot of 1's

If it comes on sale for $5 I'm in. $10 is too much.

NickA Jan 6, 2012 at 1:42 pm

If it comes on sale for $1.99 or less I'll get it. I can just use the the web site in the meantime. There's not enough here to use a dedicated LinkedIn app and pay 10 bucks. I hope prices like this are not in the future for BB 10, or whatever they are calling it.

10$ is crazy!! Love the app. I use linkedin all the time
