This seems to have some issues. I tried many different connections and none worked! I tried a direct connection as well. Apart from that, I suggest including a "text message" in the search bar to inform users what they can enter. I had a question - "Instead of entering a username, can I enter "Sales at Amazon" and will your system get my connections at Amazon?" - didn't know where to look for. Also a small change - Move logout link to top with FAQ, About as the linkedin alert masks it. Finally, consider providing cross connection through linkedin and facebook. That would be useful. Otherwise this would just be another implementation of Facebook connect.

Hey sorry to hear that you could not find any connection paths.

1. Can you tell me if the direct connection you were looking for, was it a facebook or linkedin connection? This is really surprising that you could not find a direct connection.. we'll definitely look into it.

2. Re. text in the search bar -we'll make it more clear. Right now, we just have 'name' search, and advanced search like 'company' search is on the cards in the near future.

3. Re. Logout link - we'll look into that as well.

4. Cross connections - actually, cross connection paths are already there, unfortunately we could not find one for you.. hope to get there soon!

Do give it a try after a while, and tell us if your experience is any diff. from now! And thanks for checking it out.

We have fixed the bug because of which you were not able to see your direct connections on Hachi. Do check it out, and let us know in case it's still not working for you!
Also, I could not find a link to delete my account. I think that's important.
Yes, that's a valid request, and we'll work on it. For now - if you want, you can revoke access by going to Facebook Privacy settings --> Apps & Websites ---> there you can revoke access.
