LinkHay launched a new interface and here’s a quick sum-up:

Features I like best

  1. Personal feed [linkhay.com/u/<username>/feeds]. Values it brings:
    • Historical data. This helps when I need to reorganize information or refer to a statistical figure
    • Effort tracking
  2. Friend feed [linkhay.com/friend/<username>/feeds]. Values it brings:
    • Central place to follow conversations
  3. More spaces for content by shifting the menu up

Other ambitious features

Profile [linkhay.com/u/<username>] and Friend feed [linkhay.com/friend/<username>/on-net] show LinkHay’s ambition of growing the product to a real vertical social network by offering the two key elements which attract user engagement in a web service.

Values

Overall, the new interface brings two major values to its users:

  • Increased explorability of information by pushing more visibility for the feeds
  • Encouraging expressions of personal preference for seeing the web by offering the profile

    I hate the new design, it forces me to use my mouse more.
