They are turning down the volume at LinkedIn



Dear Ross,



As more professionals are actively adopting LinkedIn, you may have noticed that you are also getting more emails from people inviting you to be their connection.



While this is the easiest way to build your network and a testament to your reputation as a professional, we recommend you only accept invitations from people you know and who you are willing and able to recommend to other professionals you know.



To prioritize your inbox and reduce the number of invitation messages you receive, you now have the option of limiting incoming invitations to those coming from people who you already have in your address book.



Turn on invitation blocking.



Also, you may want to check if you have pending invitations. Our new design streamlines the process of dealing with multiple invitations at once.



Your LinkedIn Team



Finally, etiquette from a social network service.
