It appears as if this plug-in will dynamically display LinkedIn profiles, status, and other information in the Notes 8 sidebar.  This plug-in will also be a great example of what Ed Brill, the Director of Product Management for Lotus Notes at IBM, calls “contextual collaboration.”  Users will be able to access relevant information without having to leave what they are already working on.

With the ease of recalling email addresses in LinkedIn, this plug-in seems to be a great idea for those that use Notes.  The reviews have only been positive and for more information, visit http://www.linkedin.com/lotus.
