New firms like Spoke Software in Palo Alto, Calif. and Visible Path in New York City let you search address books, in-boxes and call logs of employees, investors, lawyers or anyone you consider part of your company's ecosystem. How it works: Enter a name and the software tells you whether someone--without giving any names--knows him by virtue of the e-mail and phone traffic between them. It judges the relationship based on how quickly he replied to an e-mail and whether it was a personal note and not some mass mailing. You then send an e-mail asking the anonymous connection for an introduction. That go-between decides whether to forward the note to the target. You can keep any of your contacts private, and there can be several links between people in any chain. Spoke has 18 million people in its public database. Both companies' software works with sales-automation systems in wide use, such as Siebel and Salesforce.com. Venture firms behind Spoke and Visible Path are already using it.
