LinkedIn Joins the Million-High Club

filed under Social Netware

LinkedIn is one of the new entrants into the "Million-High" Club. Membership in this club simply requires the acquisition of a million or more members to your Social Networking Software. They join the ranks of Friendster, Orkut (I think), plus a wad of the online dating sites.

From News.com:

LinkedIn, a social networking company focused on businesspeople, said it passed the million-member mark for registered users. The company credited reaching the milestone in part to the launch of its "LinkedIn for Groups" service for networking within specific organizations.

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, Calif., is one of several Web sites and software offerings that help businesspeople meet each other and establish online connections. Other companies in the space include Matcheroo, which launched its enterprise software in January, Spoke and Ryze.
