Usually employers do everything they can to not know what you look like ahead of time, lest they get hit with a discrimination suit. Will this have an effect on the job hunt aspect?

No, site X adding profile pictures is not news. But when a large site that has resisted doing so for four years adds pictures, it represents a major shift in the site's philosophy, and thus qualifies as news.

Basically it is like a 2007/2008 version of Linkedin with a lot of advance features. It provides an option to upload a private/personal profile in addition to a professional profile. You can upload multiple photos and you can choose who gets to see your personal profile. That way, a recruiter gets to see your professional profile and not even know that you have a personal profile that you are sharing with your friends, colleague and college mates. There are more features listed on our blog. For Linkedin, photos are optional. If there is no photo, the text should wrap around the area thus preventing it from looking ugly with a default image. Linkedin users are mostly older and set in their ways and they are their paying customer as well. They can't make changes easily without upsetting or confusing their users. So innovation on Linkedin is a lot slower than other sites. So check out Nethooks.com ..we are releasing out private beta tomorrow.

Most likely outcome: a buyout so a more aggressive company can mine linkedin's data. Time to go re-read that privacy policy...
