It's just that a debate about it has resurfaced on one of the Yahoo Groups - several people voiced the opinion that they understand that people may not want to allow connection browsing, but that they shouldn't be able to browse if they're not willing to allow it. I'm just trying to build up a library of discussion of these kind of topics. Regarding that network graphic? It's on <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=pop%2Fpop_more_browse_connections" rel="nofollow">this page</a>. I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet, but I'm told that the recently-out-of-beta <a href="http://www.visiblepath.com" rel="nofollow">Visible Path</a> has something like that. Also, I think <a href="http://www.wallop.com/" rel="nofollow">Wallop</a> does too - it was spun out of Microsoft and I know that the pre-beta versions of it had a visualization tool in it. Let me know if you check either of them out. Yes, it’s been available for a long time.

Hasn't this feature been available for a long time? I've been able to browse the list of my contacts contact ever since I could remember. What I am also confused about: Where did you come up with that network graphic? Is _that_ available from LinkedIn? I've been looking for something that would help me traverse my network in a more natural way. I’m confused. Hasn’t this feature been available for a long time?
