LinkedIn Hits 100 Million Users

  • March 22, 2011
As it gets closer to an IPO, LinkedIn announced that it hit 100 million users. In a blog post, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner said the professional network is adding members at the rate of 1 million a week -- "the equivalent of a professional joining the site at faster than one member per second," he wrote. Weiner also noted that the site is used in 200 countries, with more than half its users coming from outside the U.S. LinkedIn filed for an IPO in January, reporting revenue of $161 million for the first nine months of 2011, and net income of $10 million.--Mark Walsh
