Good evaluation of the redesign. It does truly help out people notice the changes for those who are not as familiar with linkedin. I really like the redesign as different areas are given their own clear sections and the header is not as busy as before.
Thanks,

The proof will be in the pudding. We'll have to see how it does in testing. I do not mind the left nav since it makes it easy to find the things I am looking for. I find that I get frustrated when I struggle trying to find information in drop-downs. Some creative thinking would be nice. I use Linked In everyday so there will be an adjustment.

Has anyone seen the new page in action? I haven't yet. Wondering what's under the "More" link, and how they're going to handle all the links that are currently in the left nav.

I like it! It looks much more user friendly and less time consuming. I can't wait to start using the new and improved LinkedIn.

It will be hard to tell until it's live. I'm hoping that the new site will work better than the old one. I posted something on Slideshare last week. It doesn't show up and there's been no response to my request from customer service.

Lately, when it came to redesigns, I found myself constantly saying: "I liked the other one better!" From the screens I saw, this seems a successful redesign, so as a LinkedIn user I give them my thumbs up! :)

Hi, Jesse,

I find the groups to be much more useful than just places for push marketers to spam. I have found many discussions and the sharing of useful information a huge plus to LinkedIn. In addition, if you are looking to exchange information with someone you share a group with, you don't need to send an invitation, you can simply send a message.

Seeing who is active in a group can also tell you which people are more likly to help you and/or are interested in being helped in some way.

In my opinion, groups are a great feature, and although I will agree that sometimes there are entries made by push marketers, I would say there is still a large percentage of good, valuable content shared in groups.

Can you imagine if they pulled out all the stops and became a frictionless tool for professionals and for business? It would be Facebook and Twitter rolled into one -- without all the nonsense.

Looks great

I use LinkedIn regularly. I would like the ability to move the apps like Amazon book list and blog link down to the bottom of the page after Experience and Recommendations. Or be able to move all sections around. Or an easy way to toggle them on and off from showing on the profile, like a simple check box.

Great stuff. See my profile too?

The advantages of the redesign are clear. More emphasis on those LinkedIn than on the platform itself, and more content above the fold. It'll take a few times to get used to working from the top instead of the left.
Nice to see coverage of LinkedIn on Mashable!

LinkedIn is going to look like Facebook for businesses. Compare the home page image with the Facebook page and they are alike. See?

I don't get the people saying they don't use LinkedIn much anymore. I probably use LinkedIn more than any website (ok, so I'm not counting Twitter, rationalizing that I use TweetDeck, an App).

Take another look.

Basically they're leaving the inverted "L" sub-navigation scheme and replacing it with a more sophisticated implementation of sub-menus in the upper nav.

With the occasional hiccup, I've been rather pleased with each successive redesign that LinkedIn has put in place.

Hmmm I have always liked the professional aspect of linkedin. I hope that this is indeed progress. Thanks for sharing Mash!

the new design is better but doesn't help the fact that the web is moving toward more open networks and the trust network idea is used infrequently for specific tactical results.

Hi guys,
I was before more active on Linkeden they charge a lot and they do not provide much for it.
Too complicated. More profiling than social networking.
I started to use CEOWORLD Exchange for business professionals.

Try www.ceoworld.biz/corporate this is fantastic new tool to connect with bussiness people.

Cheers,

Anna

These changes look great--much more intuitive. And I won't cry over the removal of that left nav bar.

Any changes to linked in will help and I like that the information will be higher on the page but will miss (if they actually take it off) the left nav bar. I don't use it as much as FB but do enjoy the updates they send for my former co-workers. It seems like people aren't using it as much however, I agree with everyone else on that one.

More so I was directing the questions on LinkedIn are often confusing when you are creating. Answering them is simple ;o)
