Easy. Simplified. Streamlined.
These are all words LinkedIn uses to describe the new navigation bar.
I LOVE LinkedIn and am spending a lot more time working optimizing LinkedIn profiles and sales training.
My first instinct was nervous that by paring down the navigation, it would lose a lot of its functionality.
Looking at the brief overview in the video, it may actually make some of the functionality easier for new users who are trying to learn how to use it effectively.
For more advanced users, who are used to quick access to some of their favorite areas, this may prove to be frustrating.
Like all new changes, this may take some time to adjust to, but hopefully this streamlined navigation bar will only enhance your experience and not detract from it.
Stay tuned for more reviews (when I receive the rollout of the new navigation).
What do YOU think? Does this new navigation make LinkedIn look easier to figure out? (Please answer in the comments area below)
