I realize that LinkedIn is for networking. The original premise of what LinkedIn was to keep in contact with ex-coworkers that you lose contact with. Now it's turned into a recruiters dream. @Devin

It's a professional network connect to build up your career. It's not one of those social networking where you can share photos and leave useless messages.

For the people you're directly connected to, you can download their VCF or there's a link on their profile to send them a message. There are some people who put their email addresses in their name field, but that's actually a violation of the user agreement and LinkedIn is starting to crack down on that. Kind of silly, because a couple of simple RegEx tests would eliminate the problem. LinkedIn doesn’t display email addresses in general.
