5 LinkedIn Apps We Want

The possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to see our favorite Web services integrating with the platform. Here’s our wish list:

google.com/" target="_blank">1. Google Docs. All of it. Not just presentations, but documents and spreadsheets too. Let me invite my LinkedIn contacts to view and edit them. A competing app from rival Zoho would be nice too.

2. Google Calendar. Yes, more Google. Let me see public calendar items from my network, and share private events with selected contacts.

3. Basecamp. OK, all the 37Signals apps. Some of the world’s best business productivity apps combined with the leading business network has endless possibilities.

4. Causes – The Causes app remains one of Facebook’s most popular…what if you could get wealthy business people and their companies competing to be the most philanthropic?

5. Facebook – We know they’re bitter rivals, but there’s so much value in connecting these two services. Sync my contacts please!
