The app was created by Ankit Gupta and Akshay Kothari (two Stanford University graduate students) as part of a course at the Institute of Design. The company they formed, Alphonso Labs, was one of the first to use Stanford's business incubator SSE Labs. Pulse received positive reviews for its easy to use interface.〔 On 8 June 2010, the app was temporarily removed from the App Store hours after it was mentioned by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs at WWDC 2010, because ''The New York Times'' complained to Apple about the app pulling content from their feed, even though that feed was in use by other apps in the App Store. The app was approved once again and restored to the App Store later the same day after removing the ''The New York Times'' feed.〔("Pulse: Why I almost didn't return my iPad" ). CNN.

Retrieved 20 June 2010.〕 On 2 July 2010 a version of the app was released for iPhone and iPod touch named Pulse News Mini.〔("Pulse For iPhone Lands" )〕 It featured the same interface and features as the iPad version on a smaller scale. Later that month the app was also released for Android smartphones.〔("Pulse Is Now Alive And Kicking On Android" )〕 On 1 October 2010 Pulse version 2.0 was released, this update included the ability to add up to 60 news feeds and introduced pages that could be configured to show different types of news.〔("Pulse News Reader for iPad 2.0: More sources, better organization" )〕 On 15 November 2010 Pulse was made a free app for iOS and Android.〔("Pulse News Reader for iOS now free" )〕 In 2011 Pulse was selected as one of 50 apps in Apple’s App Store Hall of Fame and named one of TIME’s top 50 iPhone apps of the year. This raised the profile of the app helping it to gain even more popularity.〔("50 Best iPhone Apps 2011" )〕〔("About Pulse" )〕 On 9 August 2012 a Pulse web app was announced. The app featured a radically different design using different sized tiles put together to form a 'mosaic' like interface. Written in HTML5 the app works with all modern web browsers, however a special partnership formed between Alphonso Labs and Microsoft brings unique features such as gestures to users of Internet Explorer 10.〔("Pulse Launches a Beautiful Web App" )〕 On 8 November 2012 Pulse 3.0 was released for iOS and Android. It included a redesigned sidebar similar to the one found on the web app for switching between pages. Also included in the update was a new icon and the ability to add an unlimited number of news feeds.〔("Pulse 3.0 update for iOS and Android brings new design, better search and more." )〕 Pulse was listed among Time Techland's 50 Best Android Applications for 2013. On 11 April 2013 it was announced〔("Welcome Pulse to the LinkedIn family" )〕 as previously rumoured〔("LinkedIn reportedly set to buy Pulse news reader" )〕 that LinkedIn had purchased Pulse from Alphonso Labs for $90 million.〔("Pulsejoins the LinkedIn family" )〕 In the beginning of November 2013, version 4.0 was launched, integrating the Pulse app and LinkedIn. Along with the integration was a massive UI overhaul that was met largely by negative reviews by longtime users. Many users are still waiting for the app to return to their original design considering how much Pulse changed with the revised UI. The update also changed the name of the app from "Pulse" to "LinkedIn Pulse". LinkedIn Pulse launched a fully redesigned Pulse mobile apps for iOS and Android on June 17, 2015. Pulse decided to completely redesign the new experience from the ground up. The stated reason for this change was to deliver personalized news from a user's professional network. This change also triggered a wave of negative backlash from the app's userbase, including a dramatic drop in ratings in the App Store and Google Play. On the more cynical side of user feedback, it was widely implied that LinkedIn's aim was to monetize on Pulse's large following.〔("LinkedIn Pulse Google Play reviews" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pulse (app)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
