Improved LinkedIn CRM integration

So some of you may have the original style LinkedIn integration in CRM - it displays in an iframe somewhere on your account/contact/lead and displays any people at a given company that are members on LinkedIn. However, I was recently directed to find (and subsequently found) a better integration (at least it looks cooler and seems to be pretty slick) posted here:

The code he lists here is for accounts - copy and paste and you have a new cute little icon next to the account name field! If I modify this to work with contacts or leads I will post it here as well.

  1. Did you manage to get it to work with contacts?

  2. I never actually tried to get it working on contacts, but I think all you have to do is use the other LinkedIn API call and feed it contact details, from what I recall.
