Less is more: You’re about to receive less email from LinkedIn
Many of you have told us that you receive too many emails from LinkedIn. We’re also not immune to the late-night talk show host jokes. We get it. And we’ve recently begun to make changes so that the emails you receive are more infrequent and more relevant.
Here are two of the most recent examples:
- If you are getting too many invitations to connect, we have begun to send you a single weekly digest in place of individual emails.
- If you subscribe to several LinkedIn Groups, we are aggregating the updates from those groups into a single email.
The results so far have been very encouraging. For every 10 emails we used to send, we’ve removed 4 of them. Already, members' complaints have been cut in half. And this is just the beginning.
We also want to remind you that we provide the ability to control which emails you want to receive at your desired frequency. All of our emails have an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and you can visit your Settings page to manage your email experience to your liking.
When it comes to your inbox, the message has been received: Less is more. We welcome your feedback as we continue to make improvements.

9 个月Is there an App out there to match investors with Entrepreneurs ? Just wondering if any of your Technology experience can help me find potential investors to invest Seed Capital & Construction Funding to Build Modular Technology based Highly Profitable Rental Housing Projects - Affordable Senior Housing, Affordable Housing & Homeless Housing projects. We need interest reserves program to allow No payments plan for 2 years as it will take 1 years for construction then 1 more year to fully stabilize the asset. After 2 yrs we can get a mortgage loan and pay off your investment and its agreed ROI. We are flexible with Equity share and ROI share with investors and would like to have them as Business Partners if they so choose to remain. There is 30% GAP Funding available from the US Government as GRANT for Affordable & Homeless Housing projects.

3 年. is there a possibility of having all my feeds in one master-app instead of going individually on each app (facebook, instagram, linkedin, twitter, ) and having tab / logos on top for viewing feeds seperately if required ... the app could be named as 'FILTer' ! .

9 年This morning, was reading an article in Wired Magazine praising the success of Smartphone maker Xiaomi and Hugo Barra, https://www.wired.com/2015/04/hugo-barra/ And after reading the quote below, it made me realize that we LI group members and moderators are not losing our minds. Real tech companies---*really* do listen to their members and *really* do engage and respond/react and improve their platform in a way that enriches the member experience. Sadly, LI does not get/understand this principle. ==>> “We have a very tight and fast feedback loop,” Barra says. “On Friday we launch. Saturday and Sunday, people test and give us feedback. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we code. On Thursday, we test. On Friday, we release and start over. That’s a punishing schedule, but it has resulted in an OS that feels uniquely attuned to its users’ needs." ++ And then watching the graceful way that Facebook keeps me engaged and has none of the issues we are seeing across the LI platform, no surprise their stock has jumped from $50 to nearly $100 while the LI stock has fallen from a 52 week high of $276 to more recent lows of $165 in the last month. I promise, the month of September will end and LI leaders will *finally* have to break their silence about what happened these last 100 days, during their Wall Street 3rd quarter investor meeting in October. The current state of their site, cannot continue like it is now...

9 年Let's consider for a minute another path. LI leadership will have to explain the failure of their platform to Wall Street and investors in October, during their next quarterly investor conference call. With 25 days left in September until the end of this quarter, we will finally get some level of relief knowing the world and the media will soon learn what we have all been seeing these last 100+ days as group leaders/moderators. Look at page 4 on the url below regarding stats for the 2nd quarter of 2015, https://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-69T44N/615765380x0x842489/55A94AE5-F31D-42A0-9ECE-943E201AE155/Earnings_Slide_Deck_2Q_2015_Selected_Company_Metrics_Financials.pdf Unique visiting members and member page views, are key indicators of the success or failure of the Li platform. Notice the *flat* line for both of these stats in the 2nd quarter. And every quarter, Wall Street wants to see/review/discuss these stats. Knowing what we all know directly about the reduction and drop-off of site/member engagement, posts, comments and new members joining during the months of July, August and now September, can you only imagine what these trends are already showing LI leaders for 3rd quarter site performance? And less member engagement, also means less member clicks on paid ads, which means fewer advertisers are willing to place ads and ad agencies are less likely to suggest LI ads to their large corporate clients. And this side of the story, will also hit the media and news. The October LI investor conference call recapping July/August/September member engagement and time-on-the-site, will be the toughest for LI leaders since the launch of their IPO. And notice, in the last three weeks the number of times LI stock has fallen to 52 week lows... Doris
