A new beginning

Linkedin has rolled out a new look and added functionality to about 10% of it's groups with changes rolling out to 100% of groups throughout the next week.

I'm the web developer who owns Groups which means I build the UI, fix the bugs and if I'm lucky have a small amount of influence over the design.

The changes are dramatic in places... and as you might expect the feedback (from those who have actually used it) has been filled with emotion as well. We've spent a lot of time thinking about each and every feature as well as implementing feedback from the beta users... I fully expect the feed back to keep coming in and our changes to keep rolling out. For example we originally removed the chron sorted view of discussions altogether but brought a newer version back when we heard it was missed.

I'll post some of the insights from building Groups here... Stay tuned
