How LinkedIn Just Made 10 Million People Feel Special

I'm rarely impressed by email spam, but LinkedIn is doing something brilliant right now.

I just got an email telling me that I have one of the top 5% most viewed profiles in 2012. Of course I clicked that bright yellow Read More button.

Then I realized top 5% isn't really that significant. And I noticed from their letter that LinkedIn has 200M members. 5% of 200M is 10M.

LinkedIn just made 10M people feel special.

I got an email from LinkedIn today it said:

<quote>
Bernard, congratulations!
You have one of the top 10% most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012.
</quote>

I'm loathe to believe this and think they may have sent such emails to anyone who's had their profile viewed.

Anybody else on LinkedIn get this email?
