LinkedIn Rollouts: Feature introductions usually follow a standard 5 Waves: Randomized, Staggered, Timed, & Increasing in Size, so that LinkedIn can evaluate, adjust, sometimes eliminate, and ultimately to reduce any negative impact, unpredicted loads or code collisions that might blow up the platform. Usually a clean rollout is 30 to 90 Days to complete.
Product Feedback: If you would like to be part of making LinkedIn a better platform, miss an old feature, would like to suggest new feature or see improvements to an existing one, then fill out the 2 Feedback forms that make things happen on LinkedIn:
1️⃣ Microsoft’s hidden online LinkedIn Product Group Feedback: https://lnkd.in/gNzpwuR9
2️⃣ LinkedIn’s little known ‘Suggest an improvement” directly to the Product Team: https://lnkd.in/ggXi_bcA

Keep your eyes peeled for the following potential new features & the Co-Capture in the Wild may be yours:
- Company page Admins will soon be able to manage Messaging at scale through specialized solutions with an API integration with one of these partners: The Bird CRM, Brandwatch, Hootsuite, Oktopost, Sprinklr & Zoho
- Gaming: To boost the time people are spending on the platform, LinkedIn is testing a totally new area: gaming with it’s own games calledQueens, “Inference, Crossclimb & Blueprint. By introducing puzzle-based games they aim to add fun, stimulate conversations among users and deepen relationships. They may also be experimenting with player scores being organized by places of work, with companies getting “ranked” by those scores. Heads-Up Provided byNima Owji
- Replying to contributions: Collaborative articles will be launching the ability to reply to other contributors within collaborative articles! Heads-Up Provided by Nigel Cliffe
- A new look for collaborative articles on mobile: a redesign to help make it easier for you to read and contribute to articles on the go through our mobile app. Heads-Up Provided by Nigel Cliffe

▲ [Daily] AKA the Video Tab, believe it or not has been rolling out since January, available on the iOS mobile app only, and you’ll find the entry point on the bottom navigation bar next to the home tab. (If you’re not seeing it, update your iOS app for the latest version!).
Post [+] icon has been moved to the top of the screen, just to the right of the Search box.
This week began a broader BETA test based on viewing and using the Video tab rolled out and many others with iPhones are seeing the options. The Beta Testers can’t upload video’s directly, but can post a verticle video, like all members can, and then email the community/product team lead, via an email provided to the testers, to get it reviewed for possible inclusion on the tab.
First to post on the mass appearance of the Tab was Dan Roth on Tuesday. What is cool about this Tab is it is native video driven, meaning no 3rd party app is required. Perhaps a forbearer of things to come for live video.

▲ [Public profile indexing] controlled workaround tested and proven. When [In] obfuscated the majority of our Public profiles it caused Internet Search Engines not to have a reliable source to index (a situation created to limit X-Ray searches and force more value into investing into Recruiter and Sales Navigator).
This work around is based on using the Top Volunteer position as your Search Engine Indexing statement. It can take over 30 days to Index, unless you turn you Public profile off and then back on again, wich puts you on the index list.

No reason why. Not good for our business on [In].

✰ [✦Write with AI] messaging, a Premium feature, will compare your profile with the other Members profile for points of connectivity, even if you’re are not directly connected, to help craft (or rewrite) an introductory message using AI around (Introduce yourself), (Ask about <Name>’s time at <Current Company>), Ask about <Name>’s time at <Past Company>), or (Ask about Job opportunities).
This feature is based on a similar one developed for LinkedIn Talent SolutionsRecruiter services that launched late last year.
My personal experiment, using this new feature, was to send the 1st AI written example to Naman Goel, Senior Director of Product Design at LinkedIn. Lets see how it does.
Interesting enough, this feature technically goes against [In]’s own Best practices for content created with the help of AIbecause it doesn’t “let others know (if it isn’t obvious from the context) if you’ve relied heavily on AI to help create or modify the content.”
Do you think it should have a disclaimer?

▲ [Public profile] is now missing our [Headline] and only shows the first line, 69 Spaces, of your full [About] summary.

Last month, 12.27.2023, I exposed that our [Experience] sections were being blurred out, so search engines couldn’t index them.
It’s likely, this is by design, and a push to make more money. By blocking this info from being indexed by Search engines, it forces more people to have to buy into Recruiter and Sales Navigator to find the right people. No more X-Ray searches from the outside to find the right people.
