LinkedIn Reveals New Look, Better Navigation
Some LinkedIn users will have noticed a change to the navigation and user interface of the LinkedIn.com website, announces a company blog post. The business-focused social network is in the process of rolling out an updated design that aims to improve and simplify site navigation while also offering a cleaner, less-cluttered look. Does the fresh coat of paint hit the mark?
What’s New: Navigation Improvements, Lots of Whitespace
One of the main new features of the revamped LinkedIn is the global navigation bar at the top of the page which links to all the site’s features including profile, contacts, groups, jobs, your inbox, and more. Click on any of these items and a drop-down menu will appear providing you with further options. This gives the most important navigational aspect to the site a more modern look than it had before when each section was displayed in clickable tabs of different shades of blue.
The company also touts how the new look and feel also makes room
For example, under the “group updates” section, updates for the past seven days were posted followed by a section that included updates from the prior week. That actually led to quite a bit of scrolling to see them all. It’s not necessarily a bad feature, though. After all, LinkedIn isn’t the sort of site we’re logging into on a daily basis so it’s nice to be able to catch up when we’re there… even if that means the homepage screen extends downward forever.
