LinkedIn’s user base has swollen to over 150 million professionals, with November seeing a 20 million increase.
The impressive growth statistics were revealed yesterday as the social networking company also revealed its Q4 revenue figure of $167.7 million. This represents a 105 per cent increase to the same period in 2010.
Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, said, “Q4 once again exceeded our expectations for member engagement and business growth. It was a fitting end to a memorable year in which we reinforced our position as the pre-eminent professional network on the web.
“We believe continued focus on our members and technology infrastructure positions us well for accelerated product innovation in 2012.”
