Linked-in.com, a social media website that was launched in 2003, has now reached 50 million users. Although this may sound like a lot of people, it’s less than a fourth of the users on Facebook (222 million) and less than a fifth of the users on Myspace (268 million).
Linkedin.com offers a more professional approach to other social media websites that are geared toward a younger audience. It has sections on the profile page to put things such as your work experience, education history and professional recommendations.
I really like that Linkedin is doing this well. I like the layout of the website and I like that it is a more professional substitution to Facebook and Myspace and that it appeals to older professionals. Linkedin is a good segway into more mainstream social media outlets.
