LinkedIn's New Homepage

Dion has a post about LinkedIn's New Homepage. In addition to Dion's post, this seems to be a popular topic on Techmeme. I'm proud to say I played a small part in this project and enjoyed working with the fabulous "Homepage Team" that put this together. We celebrated the launch last week while I was out in Mountain View.

To learn more about LinkedIn's New Homepage and the News feature, see the LinkedIn Blog.

Back to Dion's post. He says:

The network connections portion shows me what is wrong with LinkedIn. On Facebook I can see interesting things that my friends have done. On LinkedIn, I see that a connection has added another 6 connections. Who cares?

I agree that Network Updates are kinda boring on LinkedIn. However, I don't find my Facebook News Feed very interesting either. Is your Facebook News Feed interesting? If so, why?

I thought this feed example was better:

Is that the same Lauren Cooney? http://cooney.typepad.com/ Just happened to glance at the name and saw someone from IBM that was familiar to me...

Dan - yes it appears to be the same Lauren.

There is something interesting in this feed: apparently FB doesn't know what sex your friend Kristian is. Or maybe it does know but is unable to access that information when generating the statement "turned _them_ into a Vampire". Is it possible to register on FB with an undefined gender? I wouldn't know, I deactivated my account a long time ago because the updates are trivial noise, not interesting information.

After you've been bitten by a werewolf and hit in the face with mashed potatoes, it's time to be loyal to one of these sites. I chose linkedIn. I had two facebook accounts and I ditched them both. After a while the nonsense is unbearable. Thanks linkedIn for keeping things sane. I didn't see anything about MySpace. I like a good joke but a 19 yr girlfriend from Oklahoma City, I don't need LOL. And, how'd she get my username?

I disagree that Network Updates are "kinda boring" on LinkedIn. They are actually quite useful, because I can see who my connections are connecting to, and potentially find new people I might want to connect to. Once you have a few hundred connections, you're not going to want to wade through them all periodically to see if they've connected to someone new.
