LinkedIn Desktop Redesign

Explained…Visually

LinkedIn-Makeover.com

By Donna Serdula


Hi! My name is Donna Serdula and I LOVE L inkedIn.

When the redesign began ro l l ing out , I heard nothing but negat ive comments. I was scared

and worr ied but we a l l know… people hate change .

Microsoft spent 26.2 BILL ION dol lars to acquire L inkedIn and nei ther L inkedIn nor Microsoft

intend to k i l l th is amazing profess ional network.

So I took i t upon mysel f to d ive in and figure out th is new interface. Consider th is

presentat ion the s ide by s ide compar ison to introduce you to the new L inkedIn Desktop

Exper ience that you need.

You are going to find that th is new design is s impler and quicker to use. You may even find

that you l ike i t… a lot!
