#3This seems like it could be a real business with a lot of traction, especially with the death of Rapportive. I wonder why the founders chose to throw it away and get jobs at LinkedIn.

#4Does anyone know any of StackLead's metrics like run rate, active users, etc? It'd be cool if Ted or Gordon could share more information in a post-mortem too.
I'm curious as to why the company joined LinkedIn instead of pursuing the opportunity to grow StackLead. I've heard from more than a few people using it how valuable the service is and I'm surprised they are shutting it down.

#5For an alternative, people can look at https://clearbit.co/ which is also pretty solid and with nice other feature. Alex McCaw is behind it. ( I have no stake in it, just tried both services )

#6another promising service getting destroyed by LinkedIn, like Rapportive.

Oh my god, yes, thank you. I spent days trying to remember the URL for that service, I was hoping someone would bring it up in this thread.
I even posted an Ask HN asking if anyone remembered the name: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8288303

Separately, FullContact API is also another replacement.

No worries. Fullcontact API is not really use friendly compare to stacklead and clearbit (old apihub).
I ran some test on the 3 of them and Stacklead was the one that could usually found the most useful information. Haven't tried Clearbit in the last 2 months though...

Thanks for the recommendation Sylvain! Yes, we've been busy improving our data over the last month. Give it another shot - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
