LinkedInfographic

As promised, we’re starting to take a closer look at LinkedIn. Its power and influence are growing and it’s quickly becoming one of the “must have” profiles for businesses and professionals alike. This graphic by our friends at Online MBA puts it all into perspective.

While its numbers pale in comparison to competitors such as Facebook and Twitter, catering to business professionals gives the site a unique advantage. Seeking to capitalize on its growing notoriety, owners recently decided to take the company, filing for an initial public offering last month. But how do you put a price on being Linkedin? Before you run out to buy yourself a thousand shares, take a look at our breakdown of the social networking powerhouse.

    Great to see that someone is noticing the huge difference between Facebook and Twitter concerning professionals using social media for business reasons. Also great to see that the business is thriving.
