I wonder if this was killed because of low acceptance, or because of the privacy and security concerns? Did Apple ever speak about this being any type of concern?
I'm guessing low acceptance. It was an interesting hack, but honestly, could you picture anyone clamoring for this feature? And then getting past the setup steps?
Frankly I thought it was a pretty shocking product to launch, for all the predicable reasons it was panned, until I contrived a more charitable explanation: LinkedIn management is willing to greenlight goofy "20%-style" projects by the engineers.
