Kristin,

I completely agreed that it would be great if we could invite all of our friends on Facebook to join BranchOut in one click. Unfortunately, Facebook puts limits on the number of invites that an app user can send out at a time. BranchOut would love to give you more invites, but the decision is really Facebook’s to make.

Another way to share BranchOut with friends and brighten someone’s day is to write endorsements for people you respect. Give it a try!

Mike

I just recently signed up for Branched Out and I’m looking forward to recommending it to my clients. One thing that would make sign up easier would be to have a button to select all of your friends to suggest they join as opposed to having to click on each person. I didn’t have time to click on 300 people, so I could only invite a few. 🙁 I will have to get back on and continue the process. It’s really exciting to read about Kevin’s friend who got interviews from it so quickly! Yay Facebook!!

Kevin- That is great news! I love to see companies help people connect in person via social tools. Keep me posted and good luck with your search!

I heard about BranchOut just a couple weeks ago from one of my friends on Facebook who had used it to get introduced to professionals at several tech firms he was interested in working for and he ended up getting interviews at two of them! Still waiting to hear back! I’m hoping to have the same luck over break as I really check it out and reach out to my friends to see who will endorse me and introduce me to jobs.

Btw.. I love the whole endorsement idea! Keep up the great work! Seems like you are innovating the application quickly and I’d like to contribute and offer my advice if I can. Do you have a uservoice profile for BranchOut?

Cheers!
