LinkedIn Google Earth Visualization

JTS

Recently we were impressed with another LinkedIn developer project programmatically pulled together user LinkedIn network data. We decided to put together a prototype that would place network connections geographically across the globe. We found out quite a lot about the LinkedIn API (it is limited and a bit buggy when it comes to Ajax connections) and a typical hosting account server may not be able to support it fully. In anycase, the prototype can be found below, along with a more detailed description of our findings.
