Social networking site LinkedIn simplifies web browsing

The latest version of the social networking site, LinkedIn, has made the most of the navigation bar easier, not only to enhance the advertising effect but also to better reflect the functionality of the site itself.

LinkedIn, a business social networking site, recently revamped its web site's navigation bar and user interface to simplify Web browsing and provide a more concise, compact page. But what about the effect?

Update: Navigation improvements, blank more

The biggest feature of the new LinkedIn is the general navigation bar at the top of the page, which includes files, contacts, groups, jobs, inboxes, more. Clicking on any item will give you a pull-down menu and more options to modernize your browsing experience.

The company also said that the new interface and experience reduced the number of page scrolling. However, when contacts and groups have updates, the number of times the page scrolls and the number of contacts and how active they are. Luckily, LinkedIn isn't the kind of site that needs to be logged on every day.

The new homepage also includes a removable, removable sidebar module that shows who has read your files, events, work lists, and more.

Simple interface to highlight ads

One drawback of the new "concise" web site is that advertising is more pronounced, which is an advantage for LinkedIn, of course. Although the ad bit has not changed, but the new version of the interface makes the ads appear more prominent. Now all content is in black or blue text on the white background, so the user log in first view is the top of the page full color ads. In addition, there is a compelling text advertising link under the navigation bar, and the font is a deeper bold font.

LinkedIn says the new website is the result of several years of usability research, but not the final product.

Need to improve: LinkedIn inbox

Unfortunately, the Inbox has not been significantly improved. Although you can easily accept, reject, or archive invitations through your current inbox, your Inbox does not support bulk operations. The worse thing is that after accepting or rejecting the invitation, the message will remain in your inbox and you will need to file it manually.
