What changed in my network?
People change jobs, companies raise, champions leave. Every week YouSpot names the changes among people you know that matter to you, with a reason and a note to send.
How it shows up
A job move is a warm door at a company you have never been inside. A raise means budget. A champion leaving means your relationship there just reset. YouSpot watches the people in your history for exactly these, and only tells you when one of them matters.
Congratulations notes are the easiest reconnect there is. It drafts them so you send them the week they land, not the month after.
How it knows
Your LinkedIn history says where the people you know work and what title they hold, as of your last import; the Chrome extension keeps that current as you browse. The web says what happened at their companies. YouSpot compares this week to last and reports only the differences that touch someone you know.

Questions
- How current is it?
- YouSpot keeps its own copy of the public profile of each person you're connected to and compares it with what it saw last time. Every move carries the date YouSpot noticed it, since LinkedIn doesn't say when someone moved. Profiles you save with the Chrome extension, or scroll past with auto-capture on for LinkedIn, are refreshed in YouSpot as you go.
- Will it flood me?
- No. Network updates runs once a week and reports moves only among people you're connected to. A new title at the same company doesn't count as a move, so it stays out.
- Does it watch my competitors?
- It starts from people: a company matters here because someone you know works there. Name any company and YouSpot will check its news and hiring for you too.
The other things it watches for.
- Every day
Who needs my attention?
A short list, most mornings: who's gone quiet, who's coming up, who changed jobs, who you never answered. Each with why, and the sources. You pick one.
- Your network
Who should I reconnect with?
Three clients fit in your head. The ninety people who could send you work don't. Every week YouSpot names the one worth a note, says why now, and drafts it in your voice.
- New business
Who in my network could become a customer?
The best new business is usually someone you already know whose circumstances changed. YouSpot watches for that. When you want to go wider, describe the kind of company and it finds them, marked with who you know at each.
- Promises
What follow-ups am I forgetting?
YouSpot reads what you said you would do, what others are waiting on from you, and, with Gmail connected, what your email says you invoiced and never heard back about. Then it drafts the follow-up.
- Your network
Who can get me into a company?
Name the company. YouSpot finds the warmest real route in: who you know there, who you both know, and how you know them. Or an honest no route from here.
- Your network
What do I already know about them?
You wrote it down somewhere: a note after the call, the scope in a PDF, a line in your mail. Ask in plain words and YouSpot finds it, reads it, and answers with where each part came from.
- Every day
What's the latest with this client?
Every client's context, one search away. Ask about Northwind and YouSpot reads the mail, the meetings and what's still open across every mailbox you've connected, then tells you in a few lines.
- Keeping up
What was in my newsletters?
You subscribed to them for a reason, and now they pile up unread. Each weekday morning YouSpot reads the ones you picked, tells you which issues are worth your time and why, and keeps every issue so you can ask about it later.
