In the biggest social media news of the past month, LinkedIn just announced that it is rolling out a completely redesigned homepage, making the experience simpler and more visual than ever.
As LinkedIn explained earlier this week, the new homepage has been designed to be cleaner, more efficient, and more valuable for users seeking the latest professional news and trends, updates from their connections, and recent job changes in their network. In addition, the stream is more social than before, as you can now like and comment on everything you see, whether it’s a timely news item or update from a friend.

“We’ve revamped the entire Homepage experience with a new look and feel to make it easier to scan and find the information that matters most to you,” said LinkedIn Product Manager Caroline Gaffney. “This simpler and cleaner design makes it easier to navigate the page and quickly find the updates you’re looking for.”
We at Hearsay Social are excited to see the largest professional social network in the world refreshing its products to be more visual and engaging, and we can’t wait to see the changes roll out to more users.
As always, you and other Hearsay Social customers can rest assured that the Hearsay Social platform supports LinkedIn’s changes from day one. Instead of using proxies that can break anytime LinkedIn makes minor or major changes to the site, we integrate directly into LinkedIn APIs, ensuring that our technology doesn’t suffer a single hiccup.
Effective immediately, corporate marketers can still use our Social Marketing Module and Content Exchange to manage content across hundreds and thousands of LinkedIn profiles. Salespeople can still use our Social Sales Module for one-click publishing of content and campaigns. And while all that’s happening, compliance officers and IT staff don’t have to take any additional action, trusting that our Social Compliance Module and Social Enterprise IT Module will continue running like clockwork.
Far from just a place for recruiters and jobseekers, LinkedIn has quickly evolved into the go-to hub for all the news, information, and updates for professionals and businesspeople. Because of that, Hearsay Social is proud to power your updates to LinkedIn, in addition to all the other major social networks.
LinkedIn says the newly redesigned homepage will roll out to members over the next few weeks, so head to LinkedIn now to see if the redesign has launched for you. Also, read the full official announcement on the LinkedIn blog.
