Pulse became a part of LinkedIn after the latter successfully acquired it in a whooping ninety million dollar deal. Prior to the acquisition, Pulse was a simple news aggregator app that gathered news from different corners and presented it to the user. In fact, most users were relying on Pulse without even actually knowing it because a lot of the information on LinkedIn's home page came from this news feed.

The refreshed version of the app is being treated like a new entity while the makers have also pulled out the old version from the app store and play store lists. However, those who have already installed the old version will be able to use it comfortably, though only till the end of the year.

As opposed to the previous display cluttered with all news, the refreshed version of Pulse will now display news that is relevant to the users, based on the information like job title, industry, etc., that is already available on the LinkedIn account. The app will also gauge the interest of the user and accordingly display the news, as it is confirmed by Mashable.

The new app also utilizes LinkedIn's Newsle acquisition to its advantage by automatically displaying stories where people in the users connection have been mentioned. Users can also deactivate these settings and opt-out of this facility, depending on their preference.
