LinkedIn Gets 70M Signups
June 21st, 2010 | by Jason Alba |Finally. Twitter came out of nowhere, seemingly with 70 million signups. LinkedIn is now at 70 million - congrats to them Some stuff I learned from this article:
- 50% is international (outside of the U.S.),
- There are 1M company profiles (how many are preloaded and how many are put in by a company rep??),
- They are looking at how to get value out of the data… a la Hoovers? This is a BIG deal and a major threat to any database with this type of data.
6 months left to see how they end the year – any predictions?
