LinkedIn Pulse redesigned with bigger images, more white space (pictures)
The latest version of the popular newsreader now has a new look, and though not everyone will be happy with the change, it has more features than ever.

LinkedIn Pulse uses a lot more white space (the previous version was all dark colors) and you can see that the buttons at the top are where your lists are now for easy access.
When you touch a headline, you get a story view with a graphic at the top (pulled from the original story) and buttons just below that for giving it the thumbs up, making a comment, or sharing it with others. It's important to note that some source sites allow for the whole story to be pulled into this view, but others only allow a snippet before you'll have to look at the actual Web site.
Create a new list by hitting the New button on the top right of the main feed page. Then just touch the plus signs on the right to add Web sites to your list.
When creating a list or adding to a current list, you can touch the blue Influencer button to see the LinkedIn content that includes articles from professionals in the industry.
When you're looking in story view, you can touch the share arrow at the top, make a comment, then send the story via LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, or send it via e-mail or SMS.
