#42LinkedIn is pretty bad. But why isn't there something better?
Besides the emails, what do you think could be improved?
Edit: if you want some concrete things... I can never tell if I'm on my "public" profile page or my profile settings page, or how to get to which one. One of them shows my connections and one doesn't or something, but I for some reason finding them is hard every time. I can also never (on the first try) get to a message someone has sent me, because clicking on the message leads me to the persons profile? or similar. Also I don't want to use messages in the first place, I want email even if it doesn't get LinkedIn ad revenue. I don't need people to vouch for my skills at all, most of them don't even know what low-level skills I use on a daily basis. Leaving a group isn't easy. The grays used all over the interface are pure gray, and feel dull, instead they should have a small amount of blue in them. The stream page has a "People you may know" box twice. I'm not "interested" in any of their ads.
LinkedIn's problems stem from (1) a blatantly confusing interface or (2) a user-hostile, ad-focused monetization strategy.

Just mark as spam, life's too short
Gmail's spam filter is so good that it even knows that I consider "LinkedIn Today" emails spam, but I still want to read the ones about my network.

Against the background of that basic information, people should be able to solicit me, freely, to come work for them - but they should be prepared to wait for a response as I'm not going to check in with the 'town church' all that often (unless I'm between gigs or thinking about a new gig).
It might be nice to passively check in on past coworkers to see how their careers are progressing - but that's optional.

#45I expect they'll invent a new product which involves opting everyone in.

#46Maybe it's because I never go on LinkedIn otherwise. Maybe it's because all the emails they send me are paired with an action, maybe it's just an habit I gained. In any case, they work for me.

Actually since Gmail now has three tabs and the linkedin emails end up in the 'social' folder, it is less of a bother. Once in a while you go in and mass delete.

I hope Google shared this sort of information with LinkedIn. "Your daily emails are reliably considered spam, by people who actually want to use your services."
I imagine this is most useful for the bulk email sending services.
