LinkedIn Rolls Out Redesigns

Will also allow users to follow selected "thought leaders."

LinkedIn on Tuesday began rolling out a redesign that the professional social network said will make it easier for users to "make a powerful first impression and showcase [their] skills and accomplishments."

The updated LinkedIn user profile is being ramped immediately for English-language users of the site and will be rolled out for all users over the next few months, the company said. There will not be an option for users to revert to the older LinkedIn profile design after they've been upgraded to the new look.
