Linkedin’s pulse app is now on the Apple watch as the company announced today its availability. Pulse is offering the ‘Top 10’ headlines in the app, along with summaries that invite the user to read more about the article on their iPhone. There are also notifications for breaking news, and a ‘Glance’ mode designed to surface the most important or relevant article at the time. Another good feature is the ability to save an article to read for later.
On desktop, Pulse has been integrated into your customized news feed on your desktop browser, and you can scroll to the next article that’s tailored for you once you’ve finished reading one article.
Pulse is an interesting news aggregation service, collating your favorite news feeds and websites and transforming them into an interactive platform. It has similar characteristics like the popular Flipboard. Today, ‘LinkedIn Pulse’ represents a major part of LinkedIn’s distribution mechanism, looking at what’s being written by people and then sorting them into channels for easy reading.
