Did you know that LinkedIn has
more than 150 million users around the world? It’s pretty much emerged as the
ultimate website for professional networking. With that amazing growth – and
the fact that most users (51%) have between 0-500 direct connections – the only
concern is information overload. Keeping track of your connections isn’t easy…
or at least, it hasn’t been easy until now!
Etihad
Airways, national airline of the United Arab Emirates has launched its new
Linkedin ‘Mapped-Out’ app allowing Linkedin users to find their connections on
a global scale.
From
its base in Abu Dhabi, Etihad will fly to 83 passenger destinations around the
world this year and the Mapped-Out tool allows guests to take advantage of how
the world is getting smaller via technology and travel. With the fast growing
airline’s expansion plans, the idea of creating the ability to connect with
others on its network so easily is a great idea. Promoting the airline and
targeting an important demographic, the business traveller, through using a personalized
map is a nice touch. Etihad recently launched its third US destination, Washington
DC, and has plans to expand further into the United States next year along with
Sao Paulo, it’s first South American destination being launched this Summer,
adding to the necessity for such a useful tool.
