LinkedIn passes 100 million user mark!

According to Mashable, LinkedIn now has more than 100 million users. The site marked the occasion by creating a graphic with some of the more noteworthy stats about the professional networking site. The time of day most users are on the site jumps out to me because I recently posted a survey on LinkedIn for my capstone research. I think I'll repost it with this info in mind to get as many respondents as I can!

Highlights:
  • 56% of users are located outside of the US
  • Brazil is the fastest-growing membership at 428%
  • the Service sector is the largest, at 20%

Those are really interesting stats. I'm surprised that so many Linkedin users are from outside the states. I think in a few year Linkedin could be a major competitor to Facebook.
