LinkedIn/E-mail. If you are polite, everything is OK. But you must deal with fact that some people are just assholes even in the case you are polite.

totally agree! Issue I see is I do send a lot of messages and they get ignored simply because developers get so many of them that the good ones get lost in the spam...

Yes, that happens a lot, especially if you are good (i.e. known) developer with rich history. I always try to reply to all messages (I'm not interested in 90% of cases, but it's just matter of good behavior), but it's just me, I believe that if you get like 10 offers per day, you do not really have a time to respond to them.
