LinkedIn: Difference between revisions

According to Seth Fiegerman<ref>[http://www.mashable.com Mashable]</ref>, "The social network for professionals has been growing at a rate of 10-15 million users per quarter.” As of November, the site boasts over 187 million members. While this may seem like an overwhelming amount of users, LinkedIn can be seen as a close-knit online community when compared with the amount of users on Facebook and Twitter (over a billion each). Unlike other social media sites, LinkedIn has a targeted membership: professional individuals, or people who are ready to enter the professional job market.
