Just logged in my Linked In account. They've redesigned things a bit haven't they?
 
Even though I know that it's only natural for some of us to resist change at first and that we eventually get used to things, the current trend in web sites and apps design really doesn't agree with my tastes.
 
It's like everything is being designed to facilitate illiterate people's life - big icons in place of descriptions and everything taking 100 times as much space as it used to. It is a very inefficient type of design, as you get less and less information at a glance and you have to click and scroll and maximize this and that to get to the info you're seeking. I am guessing that this is to accommodate people who access those sites with their phone. I just wish there was a way to access the "classic", light version. Most of those sites have apps anyways, so one has to wonder why won't they leave their website alone...
 
In most case, I just do not get used to it. Even a year later, I cannot find a singe advantage the the way my financial institution redesigned their web site - what used to reside in a few square inches on-screen now and be neatly laid out, easily readable is now a click fest and requires me to navigate through a bunch of pop ups. 
 
Some days, I really hate the smart phone world we live in.

I stopped paying attention to Linked In when it became too much like Facebook.

I stopped paying attention to Linked In when it became too much like Facebook.

I noticed that too a while ago when I logged back in for the first time. 
 
On the other hand, a huge number of real estate agents and car salespersons seem to mistake Facebook for Linked In - these are among the most frequent unsolicited requests that I get. I don't see the point in sharing pictures of my dinner with those people... :P

Some days?

For some reason I was expecting a picture of a cat called Peeve........

I take comfort (and so does paulo) in my phone being smarter than me.

As soon as they invent the time machine I'm going to retreat to the past.

The movie theater website here has become a disaster. It is easy to find everything at the site, except for which movies are actually playing and what time they are at. I curse at the screen every time I have to go on it to locate a movie. Who in there right mind would design a website that makes it difficult to find there only real product/ service.

We are slowly being forced to be part of the (shudder) "millennial world".....
