LinkedIn’s homepage refresh brings improved on-platform experience

Have you noticed a change to your LinkedIn Homepage? During the month of December, LinkedIn is rolling out several updates that will bring people on-platform and make the overall experience more user friendly. This change comes after Facebook’s most recent update to its algorithm decreasing the frequency of brand posts in the user newsfeed. LinkedIn’s move is in line with its 2013 shift from resume depository to professional publishing site. 

Here’s two of the most noticeable changes on LinkedIn:

1. The dashboard on the top of the homepage helps you understand which content your connections like, and which are less popular. 

2. Pulse articles – LinkedIn’s publishing tool – on the user homepage have been grouped together and made more sharable.
