Maybe they should think about salting their password hashes before updating the website design... :p
The only LinkedIn redesign I care about is the one where they stop spamming me every time anyone who has my name in their address book joins up, or blinks, or otherwise gives them the barest ghost of an excuse to invite me to "join their professional network".
Settings > Email Preferences > Set the frequency of emails > set all of the ones you don't want to receive to 'no email'
Wouldn't I have to have a linkedin account to do that?
I'm on Google Chrome and it has display issues.I can't understand how this hasn't gone through cross-browser testing before being released.
I'm having issues on Firefox too, so I assume something has broken, rather than not testing it. I can't imagine they wouldn't test two of the major browsers.
Not seeing anything new, did they roll back to the old one? The signup page looked new but when I logged in it was the old LinkedIn
Haven't used it in a long time, but now it seems more and more like Facebook to me. I followed a link on the homepage that said "X people have view your profile" and then I get a dialog asking me to change my profile from anonymous to visible. No thanks. Then there's the LinkedIn email system that I never use. Seems to have filled up with messages while I was away. Seems like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski#Zawinski.27s_law... is true.
I'm pretty sure that absolutely none of that is new. The "change my profile from anonymous to visible" part makes total sense in context.
It makes sense, but it seems like they're holding cheap bait in front of you to get you to be more public with your information. I deleted my Facebook account over loss of privacy. Hope I don't have to do the same with this one.
Baader-Meinhof at work. Learned about Zawinski's law just yesterday.
Still don't like the design. They seem to have just sugar-candied the menus as far as I can see.
Don't like how they bombard with information on any page. Its a clutter and mess of unrelated stuff.
They're probably trying to make it a place unemployed people like to spend time.
Seems to be a minor facelift, biggest change is the dark header. The home page remains useless.
Glad to see that they are now a completely updated and modern Web 1.5 app.
LinkedIn has always eluded me because of their bad design. "bad" might be a strong words, but considering how "clean" and "fresh" Facebook and Google+ looks - LinkedIn sure does look bad.
I took a screenshot for those who still do not see new design:
Wow, that is a lot like FB (which started out kinda MySpace, etc). The more that information architectures converge, the easier it will be for a federated solution to emerge. Federated social nets being a hope of mine for the future.
Terrible design on home page. Problem with grid alignment and color scheme.
Did they use a re-skin of Twitter Bootstrap for the header?
