Subject: MyJobTIGER LinkedIn Tops 70 Million Users; Includes Over One
Million Company Profiles
To: <socialmediaconsortium@yahoogroups.com>

Professional social network LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/> now has 70
million members, according to the company's home page. The company hit 60
million users<http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/11/linkedin-now-60-million-strong/>
in
February, and has been growing fast, especially in international markets.
LinkedIn's network's CEO, Jeff
Weiner,<http://www.crunchbase.com/person/jeff-weiner> stated
in a blog post last fall that half of LinkedIn's membership is
international. The company is also listing one million company profiles,
which are similar to a user profile.

Weiner tells us that the fastest growth LinkedIn is seeing is in
international markets.
LinkedIn has mitigated the growth in international markets with expansion in
international offices in The
Netherlands,<http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/01/06/linkedin-opens-first-office-in-mainland-europe-based-in-amsterdam/>
and India,<http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/15/linkedin-furthers-expansion-in-india-with-local-office-and-media-partnerships/>
two
areas where LinkedIn is growing rapidly.

The network has also been adding features continuously over the past six
months to broaden LinkedIn's reach across the web, adding a deeper Twitter
integration,<http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/25/linkedin-deepens-integration-with-twitter-becomes-a-full-fledged-client/>
opening
up an API, providing a plugin with Microsoft
Outlook<http://techcrunch.com/2009/11/09/social-networks-continue-to-rally-around-twitter-as-linkedin-goes-tweet-crazy-too/>
and
enhancing sharing
options.<http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/21/linkedin-launches-url-shortener-enhances-sharing-options/>

But while LinkedIn is looking to bring its platform to the greater web,
there's a tremendous amount of potential to use the data the network has on
its side to add additional functionality to both users and companies. Weiner
recently told us that data is incredibly important part of LinkedIn's future
as a network. And while we can't reveal what those data features are at the
moment, it's safe to say that we will be seeing a number of new initiatives
coming from LinkedIn leveraging the wealth of professional content on the
network.
