LinkedIn's New Look

This week Tuesday, LinkedIn rolled out their updated app on IOS and android. "This updated app now makes the app look like Facebook and other social media apps." (Bell, 2015) The app was first updated in October and finally rolled out this past week.

"Similar to Facebook, LinkedIn's new app is centered around a central feed, which shows you updates from other people in your network and the content they are sharing." (Bell, 2015) Since this app is so similar to Facebook, I will be curious to see if Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, or anyone on the Facebook executive team has anything to say about LinkedIn's new look. I am also interested to see if LinkedIn will be able to increase their membership with this new look. It'll also be interesting to see how our news feeds change with our connections and our interests.

"This updated app includes the newly-refreshed messaging features and overhauled search that LinkedIn says is 300% faster than the previous app." (Bell, 2015) The first time I saw this updated app, it took me a minute to get use to it, but after going through the app, I really enjoyed the new look.

I am interested to see what this new look does for LinkedIn and if any other companies follow along in their shoes with a new look for their app.
