Proxy to return a header in your email. CSS to render the content upon click. IFrame to update content so it doesn't get cached.
Cute web hacks. I don't understand the problem with simply using their mobile app if you were really looking for work.
It sounds like an unnecessary feature for people who are looking and an annoyance to people who are not. That seems to be the problem of Linked In. They harass those who are working with vague and misplaced job requests in an attempt to expand their reach.
I also hate iFrames. Cool trick though.
- bjacobso 13y agoI don't think it is designed for people "looking for work". It seems to be built for business development. For example, an email like: "Hey, we met at a conference last month, just wanted to follow up..." - now you can see who they are, where they work, a profile picture to jog your memory and quickly connect - all from your email client. Very similar to what Rapportive did for Gmail.
- rohitv 13y agoHere's the thing though, whenever I send an email like that to someone I always include my LinkedIn profile for them to check out, which would redirect to the app on their phone. Personally, it does seem a bit unnecessary to include this feature.
- jamra 13y agoThat's actually a good point. I never would think to use Linked in as a business card. I usually would just write, "Hey it's me from that place we met."
- flomo 13y agoI am a little disturbed that Apple Mail supports iframes. Seems like an obvious way to bypass spam filtering.
