LinkedIn hits the 50 million mark
For those of you LinkedIn users out there, ReadWriteWeb posted an interesting little tid bit about the growth of LinkedIn today. The popular social networking platform gained 1 million users this month and has officially broken the 50 million mark for total users.
The overall content of the post gets a little techy, but to me the most important message is that LinkedIn is still growing. If it is growing, that means more people are using it and finding value from it.
What’s the point? To put it simply, the point is that 50 million users and growing is a lot. Whether you are researching potential employers, educating yourself about an important prospect or refreshing your memory about the contacts you made at a recent networking event, the probability that this information will be on LinkedIn is likely and growing.
