Ried Hoffman, Did you check the new LINKEDIN Contacts UI?

LinkedIN has rolled out a new contacts user interface to filter and sort contacts. How good is it? I am on a business trip to Los Angeles and here for the whole week. I wanted to meet with some of our business contacts in the LA region. The first tool I searched on for my contacts in the Los Angeles region was LinkedIN. It was very disappointing to see that you now cannot filter your contacts by Location. I am not able to list my contacts in the Los Angeles region. Did they do this on purpose / is it a bug ? I am sure they will get this fixed in the next few days/weeks/months. What is more concerning is, with so much product management and development talent, how could something as simple as this get missed?

Another bug my friend pointed out, you are not able to go to the desired alphabet on your contacts and choose a name. If you need the list of contacts which start with the letter ‘s’, you are not able to do so with the new user interface. Maybe LINKEDIN could answer these concerns or are we missing something?
