All I want from the "new improved LinkedIn" is a way to maintain my network of past co-workers and people I have dealt with in a professional capacity and stay in touch. I'm delighted to read about job changes, promotions and any work related awards, accomplishments, links to published articles.
I DO NOT WANT:
Randoms contacting me to add to their network. i.e. people I've never met, nor worked with.
Recruiters spamming me with jobs that I am NOT interested in. Recruiters asking to be added to their network (see previous point).
Invitations to seminars, conferences, etc that have nothing to do with my profession.
"LinkedIn" staff wanting me to sign up and pay for yet another feature that I don't need.
As others have mentioned, no personal updates, humble brags, etc.
