It’s Saturday, so it must mean new features for LinkedIn (they release features on a Friday late afternoon typically, every second week). LinkedIn is very much about incremental improvements, which has sometimes been frustrating for people when things change around but I think on the whole it has been very good and people I talk to feel like there is a constant progress to the site. Here’s the blog entry discussing the new features which include a more newsfeed-ish like quality to the updates section (breaking things down by day, collapsing certain things the way Facebook does to get more info in there e.g. X, Y and Z have updated their profile pictures), and the ability to send notes that aren’t emails to your contacts. LinkedIn has spent a lot of time on their messaging features: I’m a big fan of this since increasingly people will find that regular email is such a deluge of spam and bacn that meta message services with good deliverability that are frequently used will help bridge the gap for a lot of people (ironically contributing to the bacn problem themselves… but… ). So continuing congrats to the LinkedIn team on the new feature adds!
