In other words, you are scum

What a cheery way to start off the year. LinkedIn telling me how few friends I have. According to my informal estimate, 30 connections puts me in the 75th percentile. The median LinkedIn user has 12 or fewer connections.

Dear Brian,

Your LinkedIn network has grown to 299,600+ professionals in just the last few weeks of the year. We hope you have had a happy and successful 2004.

However, there are 1,255,300+ additional hiring managers, business partners and industry experts on LinkedIn you cannot find or contact because you are currently only connected to 30 other people on LinkedIn.

Use our Find Contacts Wizard to quickly find all of your friends and colleagues who have already joined LinkedIn. It usually takes new users only a few moments to double or triple the size of their networks on LinkedIn by reconnecting with people they know.

Find out which of the people you know are already LinkedIn and be ready for the new year.

- Your LinkedIn Team

So while it would be advisable to first stop insulting their subscribers, somebody also needs to tell their marketing team that using their company name as an adjective could cost them their trademark claim.
