LinkedOut: Thanks, I think
20090329 at 20:00 I followed this up with a “trouble ticket” on LinkedIn.
I’m not posting this to humiliate LinkedIn or Microsoft, I’m sure it’s a simple error. Also, I was curious to read the email… a pity that the link leads to a blank page.
It’s remarkable how even the big boys get it so wrong on occasion - and I find it amusing enough to be worthy of a post. The jokes write themselves…
- a “blank page” is your future at Microsoft!
- How far will you go? Not far at all, apparently!
- Come work for Microsoft - no openings available!
- Work at Microsoft - and teach us about email!
As I mentioned in the trouble ticket, I do not think either company is trying to be snarky, postmodern or cruel… thankfully I’m not conspiracy-minded or paranoid!
One final possibility: LinkedIn has developed a revolutionary new class of message … a “pending” message from the future, that will appear when mysterious pre-conditions have been satisfied. I’m calling it a bug, not a feature, until I’m informed otherwise.

LinkedIn verified it was a “proper” message, and has notified Microsoft.
