LinkedIn Refreshes Profile Pages

25 million profiles viewed daily, says company

LinkedIn is revamping its core profile pages.

Starting Tuesday (Oct. 16) the company's 175 million users will see a host of new tools and user options on their Linkedin profile pages, part of an overhaul CEO Jeff Weiner described as “one of the biggest changes to a LinkedIn pillar product in the company’s history,” during an event at its Moutain View, Calif., headquarters.

The changes to Linkedin's profiles include several new photo, biography and editing options. But overall, the biggest difference in profile pages are a series of new features Linkedin hopes will encourage users to share a whole lot more content via the networking site.

For example, as Linkedin continues to add 175,000 profiles a day, it now provides users with "recommend sections" which they can use to bolster their profiles, such as projects they’re working on, languages they speak, test scores and courses they’ve taken.
