The app, which previously served as little more than a standalone Rolodex with a hint of updates for your LinkedIn connections, is now more about keeping you up-to-date with what's going on in your extended business network (http://www.imore.com/linkedins-job-search-iphone-aims-find-you-job-your-iphone).</p> <!--break--> <p>Connected puts those updates front and center, using a "card" format to display one update at a time, swiping from the right to pull up the next one. It helps to keep you focused on whatever that update is, be it a promotion, job change, a mere profile update, or (as your author's quick perusal of Connected revealed) a lot of suggestions on with whom else you could connect.</p> <p>It's a clean design, certainly an improvement over the old Contacts app, and it helps to put a bit of the social back into the business social network by encouraging more interaction by prompting users to send congratulatory messages on the aforementioned updates.</p> <p>You can <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/linkedin-connected/id635424128?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">grab LinkedIn Connected for free[/url] from the App Store.</p> <ul><li>Free — <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/linkedin-connected/id635424128?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25645"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3c5e3677/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
