More Changes on LinkedIn

[Irina Shamaeva]

I've noticed some changes on LI this morning (just in time for my webinar LinkedIn Sourcing with a Free Account on 3/26 - I will definitely talk about them then). Have you?
Some look like useful features, such as an ability to seen one message per week to your group. However, some group features are missing.
Also, I do not see a list of invitations and have not yet found out whether an ability to accept several at a time is still there.

What have YOU observed?

Irina-

If you click on your INBOX link on the left column of your LI page, you'll see 3 tabs on the next page: Received, Sent and Archived. If you hold your cursor over the Received link - there will be a drop down box where you will see invitations, etc-

I noticed they also took the 'NEWS' features at the bottom of my home page away - there Q&A indicates it's not given to all LI users - i had it up until yesterday! Interesting

Gary,

Yes, I see that, but I do not see a way to accept several at a time.
I haven't looked in detail though.

Yes - haven't seen that either yet!

I manage a few groups and they have removed a lot of the older jobs.

Useful data to store for future use don't you think ?

I just noticed an "Events" tab on the left side of the screen on LI. I think that is new. You can add events yourself, which is nice for Webinars and networking events.

The trouble is... the events are all mixed up and not in any monthly order. I assume that is just a bug.

Also, your old e-mails show up.

[Matthew C Farfalla]

What was once free is now Pay to Play is the biggest change I am seeing.

I wish! The button says "Archive". (Unless I am missing something.)

Hey,

It's there! (What a relief.) If you accept an invitation, there's a link to "see your other invitations", which brings you to a page where you can batch-accept.
