LinkedIn Messaging needed a major overhaul for years, but GIFs and stickers were in scope for launch? I'm all for adding delight with a release, but seems odd these these features were a priority. Any insight behind why they are included at launch?

@eric3000 i think this article gets close to articulating some of the rationale http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/1...
mine hasn't updated to the latest version yet. I really hope they've made it better - LinkedIn messages are a TERRIBLE user experience. Same with being sent a linkedin request - I have no idea who ~75% of the people that add me on LinkedIn actually are.
@_jacksmith +1 TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE user experience! I'm really curious why haven't they fixed it yet ?! Nice work @urbanturbanguy !
@_jacksmith LinkedIn is a great tool and messaging IS getting better, but it would be a better one if open to third party app makers. That would unleash tons of creativity. Here are some who try doing that http://www.saleswingsapp.com/sal...
I am not seeing this update show up yet when going into my LinkedIn. I would love to get access to it as I use LinkedIn messages/InMail quite a lot.
This is awesome, long overdue, but looks simple enough.
Congrats @urbanturbanguy ! Curious to hear about how this came about, what your high-level goals for this product are.
Also: any way to get early access? (I'm inpatient in Singapore)
@patrickjbradley Nope, across all platforms. http://blog.linkedin.com/2015/09...
@patrickjbradley It looks like there will be iOS and Android apps similar to the Linkedin Lookup apps that came out a few weeks ago.
Facebook Messenger for business leads?
I can see some interesting use cases for robots in there, helping out on recruiting or sales pipelines
@emmanueldarmon we're starting with English-speaking locales first, and we will aggressively ramp beyond right after that. asap!
