<p>Makes for the case of LinkedIn users adding their contact information in contact settings at bottom of their profiles. Hopefully they'll add information like this:</p>
<p>For networking purposes Firstname Lastname can be reached at firstname_lastname@internetserviceprovider.com</p>
<p>Adding the full name here also addresses the issue of LinkedIn suppressing 3rd degree connections last names.</p>

I agree with you that these people are most definitely getting a million emails from recruiters, and in a way, I do feel bad for them....what a pain in the butt. I just wish that all the recruiters out there would act like a professional. There should definitely be some pre-requisites when you contact someone from LinkedIn. For me personally, I won't contact someone unless I've got a specific position open that matches their profile. I always provide a very detailed job description, and I…

For me personally, I won't contact someone unless I've got a specific position open that matches their profile. I always provide a very detailed job description, and I always provide ALL my contact information. If every recruiter was working this way, I don't think people would be as irritated.<br/><br/><cite>Erik Davids said:</cite>

<p>It's still working fine! It's juts that the "send message" is not showing in the search results. Instead they show "send InMail". Go to the profile and you will see the send message link. </p>

The customer service rep that I communicated with told me that the change is being rolled out incrementally, so many users have not been affected yet, but he said that it absolutely is a global change and that all of the LinkedIn community will see the change sooner or later. I've loved LinkedIn b/c I've made a great return on my investment. I guess the change really irritated me only b/c it will cost me more!
