LinkedIn –<br />

Social Network for Professionals<br />

Leading social network for professionals – ~50MM users access the site to find jobs / attract<br />

clients / establish partnerships / collaborate on projects / conduct market research.<br />

According to Charlene Li, founder of research house Altimeter Group, “<strong>The</strong> number one way<br />

you find a job is through referral and LinkedIn is the biggest referral network out there."<br />

<strong>Mobile</strong> applications allow constant connectivity to professional network – LinkedIn has<br />

developed mobile applications for iPhone and Palm Pre, allowing users to update their<br />

status (seeking employment / company is looking to hire / seeking strategic partnership…) /<br />

receive updates from network / send messages to connections / search employer +<br />

employee profiles / invite new connections all on-the-go.<br />

LinkedIn is successfully monetizing its network – <strong>The</strong> company generates revenue from job<br />

postings / advertising / licensing software for internal recruiting / premium subscriptions, and<br />

according to founder Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn has been profitable for several years.<br />
