Very recently LinkedIn chanced the design on profile pages and I must admit, it looks great. It looks professional and has a more 2012 look to it. This is a welcome improvement to LinkedIn in my opinion and could move LinkedIn up further in the social media channel category. Currently, LinkedIn falls behind the other top social media channels such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter,  and Google+ in terms of popularity.
