LinkedIn's value is in the database of contacts and interactions. It looks like they're trying to get rid of anyone who was able to capture a significant portion of that data. Too bad, it was a useful service. They must have made them a sweet offer.

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...
What don't you find user friendly about FullContact? Would love the feedback. Thanks.

#13If anyone is looking for an alternative I've been working on something similar over at http://hulimail.com.
Not a direct replacement but I'm now adding some additional features to try to make it that. If you're an existing Stacklead customer I'd be interested in talking to you about getting your data migrated and making sure everything works as well at Hulimail as it did at Stacklead.
