I used to use the old Pulse. You could choose the news streams and customize what you saw. This is no longer the case, as LinkedIn simply populates your feed with things they think you want to read. The trouble is that though I used to skim through the stories often, I rarely found anything applicable to me, my career or areas of professional interest. It has become almost completely useless and a waste of my time. Id only give it one star due to irrelevant and uninteresting content, but the overall design and layout bumps it to a two. There are far better news aggregators out there. Until LinkedIn allows personalization of topics and content, I suggest finding a different one, one that actually delivers relevant, useful stories.
